About Open Genes
Open Genes is a longevity technology initiative inside Open Longevity, Sherman Oaks. We develop specialized database of human genes associated with aging http://open-genes.com. Open Genes main feature is a detailed description of the parameters of experiments confirming the association of a gene with aging. Our project aims to help researchers in the study of the genetics of aging and related processes. We believe that an integrated approach is needed to study aging.
We believe that a comprehensive approach is needed to study aging. A comprehensive study of aging requires a database of all known human genes associated with aging. To achieve this goal we develop web services that will allow researchers to access a large database of aging-related genes. This tool will provide researchers with up-to-date and structured data on the latest research and discoveries in the field of aging.
Our mission is to research and develop treatments to slow down aging and extend life expectancy. Through the application of the latest scientific advances and the use of innovative technologies, we hope to identify and target the underlying mechanisms of aging with the ultimate goal of achieving long-term health and longevity.
Many people do not agree that slowing down aging and prolonging life is necessary, however, Open Genes as well as many other longevity activsts, believe that it is an important endeavor. The biology of aging is one of the fastest growing areas of science today and, although the primary goal of biologists is to understand life through cognition, the desire to live forever is also at the heart of this rapid development.
The facts in favor of this endeavor are promising. We know that even by simply increasing or suppressing the activity of certain genes, aging can be slowed down and life expectancy can be increased by a significant amount. Additionally, according to comparative biology, the lifespans of species differ drastically and some do not show any signs of aging at all. This leads us to believe that aging is a regulated process and, if we can understand its mechanisms, we may be able to extend our own lives or at least give future generations a longer life expectancy.
Given the potential of this endeavor, it is important to have an open and non-profit approach to longevity research and development. Open Genes is dedicated to the advancement of this cause and is committed to sharing our findings and developments with all members of the public. We believe that an open, non-profit approach is the best way to ensure that any breakthroughs are available to all individuals, regardless of their economic, social or geographical background.
Open Genes is an open source, non-profit project with full access to data. We began with a generous donation that enabled us to build a team and launch the initial version of our product. We rely on a network of volunteers to help us spread the word, attract potential donors, and keep the project going.
