CIL:1887

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 2 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.

本数据集为秀丽隐杆线虫（Caenorhabditis elegans, C. elegans）终端球衰老数据集，其核心目标为基于线虫咽终端球（属于进食器官）的图像推断线虫的年龄。本数据集包含按不同实际日龄采集的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，该图像属于第2天数据集。需注意，即便个体遗传背景完全一致，个体间仍存在差异，因此形态年龄与实际日龄并未完全相关。本数据集的来源为遗传学实验室/美国国家衰老研究所（National Institute on Aging, NIA）/美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health, NIH）。
