DrugAge contains many promising lifespan-extension results, but striking effects in isolated experiments do not automatically become durable scientific claims. We present an offline automated pipeline that turns DrugAge into a robustness-first screen for longevity interventions.

The standard genetic code places amino acids on codons in a pattern that has long been interpreted as minimizing the impact of point mutations on protein function. Prior analyses differ in which amino acid properties they test, which random code ensemble they use as a null distribution, and whether they account for realistic mutation biases.
