CIL:1194

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 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.

本数据集名为秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）肌肉衰老，其研究目标为基于肌肉图像推断线虫的年龄。研究人员采集了不同实龄（chronological age）下的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本示例图像属于第4天数据集的一部分。需注意，尽管个体遗传背景完全一致，但由于个体间存在异质性，线虫的形态年龄（morphological age）与实龄之间并不完全相关。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）。
