Aging book of life

ID Number
1334

Description
Damage to each person's genome, often called the "Book of Life," accumulates with time. Such DNA mutations arise from errors in the DNA copying process, as well as from external sources, such as sunlight and cigarette smoke. DNA mutations are known to cause cancer and also may contribute to cellular aging.

Appears in the NIGMS booklet Inside the Cell.
