CIL:1731

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.

秀丽隐杆线虫端球衰老数据集（C. elegans terminal bulb aging）的构建目标，是通过线虫咽部端球（进食器官的组成部分）的图像推断线虫的实际年龄。该数据集的秀丽隐杆线虫图像采集于不同实龄阶段，此图像属于第2天数据集的一部分。需注意：即便个体遗传背景完全一致，由于个体间存在异质性，其形态年龄与实龄之间并非完全相关。本数据集的来源为遗传学实验室/美国国立衰老研究所（National Institute on Aging, NIA）/美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health, NIH）。
