Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:1624, Caenorhabditis elegans. CIL. Dataset

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.

本数据集旨在通过分析C. elegans咽部末梢球体（摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推断出线虫的年龄。C. elegans在不同生理年龄阶段的图像被收集于此数据集中。需要注意的是，尽管个体间在遗传上相同，但由于个体差异，形态学和生理学年龄并不完全对应。本数据集的来源为美国国家卫生研究院（NIH）的遗传学实验室/国家老年研究所（NIA）。
