CIL:1087

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 2 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肌肉衰老（C. elegans muscle aging）的研究目标为，基于肌肉显微图像推断该线虫的实际年龄。研究人员针对不同实际日龄的秀丽隐杆线虫采集了肌肉图像。本示例图像属于该数据集的第2日龄子集。需注意，即便个体为遗传背景完全一致的同基因系，由于个体间存在表型异质性，其形态学年龄与实际日龄并非完全相关。该数据集的来源为美国国立衰老研究所（NIA）/美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）遗传学实验室。
