CIL:1906

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 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咽端球衰老数据集（C. elegans terminal bulb aging），旨在基于线虫咽部端球（pharynx terminal bulb，进食器官的组成部分）的图像推断线虫的实际年龄。研究人员采集了不同实龄的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本次展示的图像属于第4天数据集的一部分。需注意，尽管个体的遗传背景完全一致，但由于个体间存在表型差异，其形态学年龄与实际年龄并非完全相关。本数据集的来源为遗传学实验室/美国国立衰老研究所（NIA）/美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）。
