CIL:1737

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（C. elegans）咽末端球衰老数据集，其研究目的是基于线虫咽末端球（其摄食器官的组成部分）的图像，推断线虫的实际年龄。研究采集了不同时序年龄的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本图像属于第2天数据集的一部分。需注意，即便个体遗传背景完全一致，由于个体间存在变异，其形态学年龄与时序年龄并非完全相关。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）及美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health）。
