    Edem1 mutation The mean lifespan of Edem1 mutants of both male and female is increased by more than 30% [19302370]. Fly +30
    E(z) mutation Flies heterozygous for the protein null E(z)63 or the catalytically inactive E(z)731 mutation that are progeny of an out-cross to an Oregon-R (O-R) wild-type strain exhibit a substantially greater median lifespan than the O-R control (71% and 76%, respectively). When derived from an out-cross to a longer-lived Canton-S (C-S) wild-type strain, the median lifespan of E(z)63 heterozygous is 33% longer than the C-S control [20018689]. Fly +33 to +76
    dys RNAi dys RNAi-mediated knockdown in the mesoderm shortens lifespan [18221418]. Fly
    dys knockout Loss of dys function in the heart leads to an age-dependent disruption of the myofibrillar organization within the myocardium as well as to alterations in cardiac performance. Mesodermal dys knockout results in a morderate maximum lifespan reduction (13%), but not when exclusively targeted to the heart. In contrast, half of the transheteozygous DysExel618/Dyskx43 deficiency flies die at 29 days compared to 63 days in controls. This indicates that a moderate dye loss-of-function in all muscles, but not in just the heart, reduces the normal lifespan [18221418]. Fly -13
    CG9172 RNAi RNAi against CG9172 increases mean lifespan in females by up to 4-12% when applied in both development and adulthood, and up to 46% when applied in adult neurons only. For males the effect is variable [19747824]. Fly +4 to +46
    CG18809 RNAi RNAi of CG18809 results in a 7-19% increase in mean lifespan of females, while neural RNAi results in an increased mean lifespan of up to 12% in females. For males the results are variable [19747824]. Fly +7 to +19
    CG17856 RNAi RNAi of CG17856 results in an increase in mean lifespan of 13-18% in females. In the case of males and post-developmental experiments the results are variable [19747824]. Fly +13 to +18
    bsk RNAi RNA interference of bsk in intestinal stem cells, results in short lived mutants with impaired intestinal homeostasis and tissue regeneration. The mean lifespan of males is 16.4% lower and those of female is reduced by 10.2% [20976250]. Fly -10.2 to -16.4
    Bam mutation Bam mutants have an extended lifespan due to germ cell loss. Lifespan of females is on average up to 50% higher and that of males on average s up to 27.8% higher [18434551]. Fly +27.8 to +50
    Aut1 RNAi Aut1 depletion by RNAi form the first day of imaginal stage shortens lifespan by 28% on average in Drosophila and causes morphological behavioural features of premature aging [18219227]. Fly -28
    alpha-Man-I RNAi alpha-Man-I RNAi knockdown results in a 39% increase in mean lifespan [19302370]. Fly +39
    alpha-Man-I mutation alpha-Man-I mutant fly exhibit enhanced resistance to paraquat and starvation an a 60% increase in mean lifespan for both sexes. After outcrossing, the mutant exhibit, under normal conditions, an increase in mean lifespan of 22% for females and 38% for males. Maximum lifespan is increased by 15% [19302370]. Fly +22 to +60 +15
    Akt1 RNAi RNA interference of Akt1 in intestinal stem cells, results in impaired regeneration of the intestinal epithelium and a short lifespan. In males and females on mean lifespan is 11.4% and 7.4% lower [20976250]. Fly -11.4 to -7.4
    14-3-3epsilon mutation Loss of 14-3-3ε results in increased stress-induced apoptosis, growth repression and extended lifespan of flies, in a foxo-dependent manner. Mean lifespan of males and females is increased by 25% and 49%, respectively. Increased 14-3-3ε expression also reverts foxo-induced growth defects. No effect of lifespan is observed when overexpressing 14-3-3ε in adipose tissue, indicating that endogenous foxo activity in this tissue is low under normal conditions [18665908]. Fly +25 to +49
    Surf1 knockdown Surf1 knockdown results in larval lethality. However, knockdown in the central nervous system (CNS) not only bypasses the larval lethality but it results in an increase in maximum lifespan of about 20-30% [16172499]. Fly +20 to +30
    sun mutation sun mutations increases lifespan and resistance to oxidative stress [15133470] Fly
    Sod mutation Sod mutant flies display infertility and a reduction in lifespan [2539600]. Fly
    Sirt2 RNAi Decreased expression of Sirt2 by RNA interference causes lethality during development. Silencing in neurons shortened mean lifespan by 20% [17159295]. Fly -20
    Sir2 RNAi Decreased expression of Sir2 and Sir2-like genes in all cells causes lethality during development. Suppression of the Sir2 in neurons decreases the median lifespan by 10-30%, while ubiquitous silencing of the Sir2-like genes shortens lifespan. The effects are server at 28°C that at 25°C [17159295]. Fly -10 to -30
    sdhC dominant negative overexpression Mutants expressing a dominant negative form of sdhC in the nervous system have a 22% reduced mean lifespan and signs of oxidative stress induction [17854771]. Fly -22

    Mnt Mutation A dMnt null allele results in flies with larger cells, increased weight, and decreased lifespan [16055719]. Fly
    GCN4 Deletion Deletion of GCN4 increases the replicative lifespan by 10% in the alpha strain [19030232]. GCN4 deletion decreases the lifespan in the alpha and a strain [20657825]. The chronological lifespan of GCN4 deletion is strongly decreased in the a strain [20421943]. Yeast +10
