HAGR -- the Human Ageing Genomic Resources

What you can do:
Search for information on genes related to human ageing and ageing process in different organisms.
Highlights:
  • HAGR is a collection of online resources for studying the biology of human ageing. It features two main databases: GenAge and AnAge.
  • GenAge is a curated database of genes related to human ageing. Entries were primarily selected based on genetic perturbations in animal models and human diseases as well as an extensive literature review. Each entry includes a variety of automated and manually curated information, including, where available, proteinx96protein interactions, the relevant literature, and a description of the gene and how it relates to human ageing.
  • The goal of GenAge is to provide the most complete and comprehensive database of genes related to human ageing on the Internet as well as render an overview of the genetics of human ageing.
  • AnAge is an integrative database describing the ageing process in over 2000 organisms and featuring, if available, maximum life span, taxonomy, developmental schedules and metabolic rate.
  • Associated with the databases are data-mining tools and software designed to investigate the role of genes and proteins in the human ageing process as well as analyze ageing across different taxa.
