However, it is only recently that the necessary sophisticated technology has been developed to begin testing this theory and its consequences. This book reviews the concept of genomic instability as a possible universal cause of aging in complex organisms resulting from recent advances in functional genomics and systems biology. - ;Aging has long since been ascribed to the gradual accumulation of DNA mutations in the genome of somatic cells.
