CIL:1644

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 0 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.

秀丽隐杆线虫咽端球衰老数据集（C. elegans terminal bulb aging）的构建目标为，基于咽部终球 (pharynx terminal bulb，进食器官的组成部分) 的图像推断线虫的年龄。该数据集的图像采集自不同实龄的秀丽隐杆线虫，本图像属于第0天数据集子集。需注意：即便个体为遗传背景完全一致的同基因系，由于个体间存在表型差异，其形态年龄与实龄之间并不完全相关。该数据集的来源为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）下属的美国国家衰老研究所（NIA）遗传学实验室。
