High-throughput genomic and proteomic technologies have generated a wealth of publicly available data on ageing. Easy access to these data, and their computational analysis, is of great importance in order to pinpoint the causes and effects of ageing. Here, we provide a description of the existing databases and computational tools on ageing that are available for researchers. We also describe t...

All of us who do experiments and think about biology on a daily basis know that biological systems are exceedingly complex. Biologists have long avoided facing up to the interconnected nature of cellular processes by using reductionist approaches. This strategy has been spectacularly successful in identifying key factors for many fundamentally important biological processes. However, the tradit...
