Suppression of cancer is a necessary component of species longevity, and finding out how exactly cancer incidence is in some cases dramatically reduced is one of the primary goals for the field of comparative biology. Here, researchers survey known cancer-associated sequences across the genomes of long-lived and short-lived species, and see that sequences are more conserved in long-lived species.

Patterns of epigenetic modifications to the genome at these locations also exhibit differences in long-lived species.
