CIL:1111

The purpose of the dataset C. elegans muscle aging is to deduce the age of the nemathode based on images of muscles. 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.

本数据集为秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）肌肉衰老数据集，其研究目标为基于肌肉图像推断该线虫的年龄。研究人员拍摄了不同时序年龄的秀丽隐杆线虫肌肉图像，本次提供的图像属于第4日龄数据集的一部分。需注意，即便个体遗传背景完全一致，由于个体间存在生物学变异，肌肉形态年龄与实际时序年龄也无法完全一一对应。本数据集的来源为遗传学实验室（Laboratory of Genetics）、美国国家衰老研究所（NIA）及美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）。
