CIL:1642

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 0 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.

「秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）咽端球衰老」数据集的构建目标为：基于该线虫摄食器官的组成部分——咽端球的图像，推断其实际年龄。研究人员已采集不同实龄下的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本图像即属于第0天数据集的一部分。需注意，即便个体为基因完全一致的秀丽隐杆线虫，由于个体间存在表型差异，其形态年龄与实龄并未完全相关。本数据集的来源为美国国立衰老研究所（NIA）与美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）遗传学实验室。
