CIL:2000

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（C. elegans）咽终端球衰老数据集，其研究目标为基于线虫咽终端球（摄食器官的组成部分）的图像推断线虫的年龄。该数据集的图像采集自不同实龄的秀丽隐杆线虫，该图像属于第4天数据集的一部分。请注意：即便个体为遗传同源的秀丽隐杆线虫，由于个体间存在差异，其形态年龄与实龄之间并不完全相关。本数据集的来源为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）下属美国国立衰老研究所（NIA）遗传学实验室。
