CIL:1928

The purpose of the dataset C. elegans terminal bulb aging is to deduce the age of the nemathode based on images of the pharynx terminal bulb (part of the eating apparatus). Images of C. elegans were taken at different chronological ages. This image is part of the day 4 data set. Note that the morphological and chronological ages are not fully correlated due to the variability among individuals even though the individuals are genetically identical. The source for the dataset is Laboratory of Genetics/NIA/NIH.

秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）终球衰老数据集旨在通过咽部终球（线虫进食器官的组成部分）的显微图像推断线虫的实际年龄。该数据集的图像采集自不同日龄的秀丽隐杆线虫，本次展示的图像属于第4天数据集的一部分。需注意，即便个体遗传背景完全一致，由于个体间存在表型差异，其形态学年龄与日龄并非完全相关。本数据集的来源为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）下属美国国家衰老研究所（NIA）遗传学实验室。
