报告摘要（Abstract）:
Aging is characterized by progressive loss of physiological and cellular functions, but the molecular basis of this decline remains unclear. In budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, aging can be assayed by at least two methods: chronological lifespan (CLS) and replicative lifespan (RLS). The yeast RLS assay measures how many daughter cells a mother can produce before it ceases dividing, and has been proposed as an assay to identify conserved pathways affecting the continued viability of dividing cells such as stem cells in humans. Here we explored how replicative aging affects transcriptional dynamics in yeast using single-cell RNA sequencing. We found that aging perturbed the total mRNA amount in the single cell level, and interfere with gene expression profile of core biological pathways. Increased cell to cell transcriptional variability and progressively deteriorated mutational signature was also observed during replicative aging in yeast. These discoveries shed light on a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms of aging and will direct us to find effective therapeutic strategies to prevent from aging and aging related diseases in human beings.
