Part 3

Researchers at an Icelandic Biotechnic Institute to have discovered the gene responsible adding 10 to 15 years to the average lifespan. The Methuselah gene owes its name to the Biblical figure, Methuselah who, tradition, died at the age of 969. Iceland was the country chosen for the study its small population of only 270,000, and its consequently higher than normal sharing of genetic similarities. It is that the brothers and sisters of centenarians also enjoy healthy old age. If, on the other hand, the investigation carried out in a highly populated country, the gene may not identified so quickly.
The research project in Iceland studied 1,200 people, aged 90 and over, in an effort to whether there were any special reasons why some people lived longer than others. Since the of the Methulsea gene, scientists are that a new drug will be developed which may well us to live longer and healthier lives.
In other research, a set of genes clock genes, has been discovered. The first gene of this was isolated in 1995, and months, a further two clock genes found. Subsequent genetic analysis has that the life-span of the worm varied greatly, in accordance the combinations and mutations of the clock genes. Some gene mutations the life of the worm by 400%.
