Virtually all physiological function of tissues or organs decline with increasing age.
Ageing-differentially expressed genes exhibit a clear tissue-specific pattern. < 10% of them in each tissue were in common with any other tissue and < 10% of biological processes were in common with any other tissue [17623811].

Critical changes of the transcriptional levels generally occurs after 30 days of age, some as late as 60 days, indicating that aging gene expression changes are a gradual  process [17623811].

SdhB, ATP synthase, ferritin and aconitase in nematode [Hamilton et al. 2005; Hansen et al. 2005] and Indy and SdhB in fruit fly [Rogina et al. 200; Walker et al. 2006] modulate lifespan.

Reducing expression of IIS genes such as daf-2 in the adult stage alone lifespan [Dillin et al. 2002].

Genome-wide transcriptional studies on aging in invertebrates [Zou et al. 2000; Lund et al. 2002; Pletcher et al. 2002; Landis et al. 2004; Wang et al. 2004; Kim et al. 2005; Girardot et al. 2006; Golden & Melov, 2004; McCarroll].

Comparison of aging profiles among different tissues [Fraser et al. 2005; Zhan et al. 2006].

Comparison of aging profiles among different species  found alterations in transcripts encoding mitochondrial and proteasomal functions [McCarroll et al. 2004].
