GENETICS OF REPRODUCTIVE SENESCENCE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 该方案的目的是建立一个模型系统来研究生殖衰老的遗传基础。该项目将研究一个由500只自然衰老的成年狒狒组成的纯种群体。通过观察来监测繁殖周期，动物在月经周期的第5天和第25天流血。这些数据和分析将确定导致衰老生殖指数变化的人类遗传区域。该菌落将为衰老病理和衰老基因表达谱提供广泛的资源。结合了老化狒狒的规模、经济性、实验环境、谱系和标记集，为我们提供了前所未有的资源来促进我们对人类衰老和健康的理解。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this protocol is to establish a model system to study the genetic basis of reproductive aging. The project will study a pedigreed colony of 500 naturally aging adult baboons. The reproductive cycle will be monitored by observation and the animal bled on day 5 and 25 of the menstrual cycle. The data and analysis will identify human genetic regions responsible for variation in reproductive indices of senescence. The colony will provide extensive resources on senescence pathology and gene expression profiles of aging. The combined scale, economy, experimental environment, pedigree and marker set of the aging baboon offers an unprecedented resource to advance our understanding of aging and health in humans.
