CIL:1620

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.本数据集「秀丽隐杆线虫咽球衰老」（C. elegans terminal bulb aging）旨在通过咽部终端球（pharynx terminal bulb，进食器官的组成部分）的图像，推断秀丽隐杆线虫的年龄。该数据集采集了不同实龄（chronological age）的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本图像即属于第0天数据集子集。需注意：即便个体为遗传一致的同基因系，由于个体间存在表型变异，其形态年龄（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。
