Briefing: Free software lets laptops simulate how aging evolves under selection

The Leibniz Institute on Aging—Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) has developed AEGIS, a software tool that allows researchers to simulate the evolution of aging across different species.

AEGIS is freely available, enabling broader access for scientists to explore the mechanisms behind varying aging rates among species.

This tool could significantly impact research by providing a platform for analyzing how evolutionary pressures influence lifespan and aging processes.
