CIL:1097

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 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肌肉衰老（C. elegans muscle aging）数据集，其核心任务为基于肌肉图像推断该线虫的实龄。研究团队采集了不同实龄阶段的秀丽隐杆线虫肌肉图像，本示例图像即属于第2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，由于个体间存在生物学变异，其形态学年龄与实龄之间并不完全相关。本数据集的来源为隶属于美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health, NIH）与美国国立衰老研究所（National Institute on Aging, NIA）的遗传学实验室。
