We need to know every factor which determines lifespan.
Lifespan factors often but not always originate from defined genetic elements. They are not just genes, by definition they can be anything for which a Classifications schema can be build that is related to the regulation of lifespan, such entities may include transcripts, proteins, components, etc. It shall be highly flexible and scalable.
While individual lifespan factors within each species or a precise defined molecular entities shall be captured within Lifespan App, Data entries of the Data App may summarize for instance the relevance of each factor class (e.g. a homologous group; a chemical group of related structure, etc.) as well as draw overall conclusions.
