Abstract

This article discusses the pros and cons of using RNAi screening to identify longevity genes in Caenorhabditis elegans. The discussion will focus on the results of two large-scale longevity RNAi screens that were recently published. The two screens revealed largely non-overlapping sets of candidate longevity genes. The possible reasons for such differences and their implications will be discussed.
