Re: [DIYbio] Fwd: [tt] Geneticists Discover a Way to Extend Lifespans to 800 Years

The research studies in the paper likely cost a few thousand dollars or less in supplies, and took a year or two of work in the lab.  So it could be replicated in a DIYbio lab.  Or someone could try a variation on the experiments described in the paper.
 
In terms of equipment, it requires being set up for basic molecular biology--PCR, gel electrophoresis, autoclave, balance, a few water baths and dry incubators.  The only special equipement would be a microscope set up for yeast tetrad dissection.  The lab strains of yeast are available, and gene knockout in yeast is easier than in any other organism.
