DAF16

A gene first identified in Caenorhabditis elegans and later found in other species including humans, which is related to the fork-head genes that encode proteins that attach to and control DNA. DAF16 is associated with a 2-fold increase in the lifespan of C. elegans and may control longevity in humans.
