Defining the impact of mutation accumulation on replicative lifespan in yeast using cancer-associated mutator phenotypes [Genetics]

Mutations accumulate within somatic cells and have been proposed to contribute to aging. It is unclear what level of mutation burden may be required to consistently reduce cellular lifespan. Human cancers driven by a mutator phenotype represent an intriguing model to test this hypothesis, since they carry the highest mutation...
