I also think this is an odd GO term. Longevity is a phenotype.
Pomnbase has 1689/5050 genes so far affecting longevity! https://www.pombase.org/results/from/id/695f1425-85f4-494a-9f62-cb0e768d0e1c covering every process
Yes I think this should go....
It's quite interesting, but not unsurprising to see that every slim process is implicated in "ageing" https://www.pombase.org/slim:bp_goslim_pombe/from/id/695f1425-85f4-494a-9f62-cb0e768d0e1c
Hello,
There are 15 genes in human annotated to "determination of adult lifespan" (mix of IMP, IDA, IBA, IEA...) by Uniprot, Go central & WB.
This is defined as: The control of viability and duration in the adult phase of the life-cycle.
Do we really think that we have a process determining this?
I'm guessing this would also be true for worms?
It looks like these annotations might just reflect phenotypes from viability assays?
Its only child term is " insulin receptor signaling pathway involved in determination of adult lifespan " It is a sibling term to menopause
not sure who should be tagged to this issue aside form uniprot and wormbase
