Yeast has been an established model system for cellular aging since more than 50 years and has functioned as a model that allows the investigation of individual gene functions, of gene and protein interactions, and of network structures through individual assays to high-throughput experiments. Thanks to the unbiased screening repertoire yeast will remain as a major workhorse for aging research in the post-genome era, especially for the search for aging modulators and for the system biology of aging.
