Lifespan is influenced by a large number of conserved proteins and gene-regulatory pathways. Here, we introduce a strategy for systematically finding such longevity factors in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and scoring the genetic interactions (epistasis) among these factors. Specifically, we developed an automated competition-based assay for chronological lifespan, defined as stationary-phase survival of yeast populations, and used it to phenotype over 5,600 single- or double-gene knockouts at unprecedented quantitative resolution. We found that 14% of the viable yeast mutant strains were affected in their stationary-phase survival; the extent of true-positive chronological lifespan factors was estimated by accounting for the effects of culture aeration and adaptive regrowth. We show that lifespan extension by dietary restriction depends on the Swr1 histone-exchange complex and that a functional link between autophagy and the lipid-homeostasis factor Arv1 has an impact on cellular lifespan. Importantly, we describe the first genetic interaction network based on aging phenotypes, which successfully recapitulated the core-autophagy machinery and confirmed a role of the human tumor suppressor PTEN homologue in yeast lifespan and phosphatidylinositol phosphate metabolism. Our quantitative analysis of longevity factors and their genetic interactions provides insights into the gene-network interactions of aging cells. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has emerged as an important model for the genetic analysis of aging, and insights gained about this process in yeast cells enhance our understanding of aging in other organisms, including humans. Even in yeast, our knowledge of the number and identity of the genes that determine lifespan is limited and we are still lacking a general picture of how different genetic aging factors work together. Here, using an innovative sensitive technique, we have characterized the stationary-phase survival of yeast single- and double-gene knockout mutants to screen for genes that control chronological aging and to score the genetic interactions among these genes. Our results showed that an important fraction (14%) of the genome contributes to the regulation of lifespan, including genes and pathways that had not been previously associated to this phenotype. We also constructed a genetic interaction map which recapitulated lifespan-determining pathways and highlighted genetic associations between the autophagy machinery and the phosphatidylinositol-phosphate and lipid-homeostasis pathways. Our study provides not only an accurate catalogue of yeast aging genes, but also a picture of the gene-network wiring of aging cells.
