Insights from the Genome of the Aldabra Giant Tortoise
The oldest land animal with an established age is an Aldabra giant tortoise, at 194 years. Researchers have sequenced the genomes of an old and young Aldabra giant tortoise to compare with other long-lived species and with less long-lived giant tortoises, part of a continuing effort to better unders
