Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:2635, 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 12 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C. elegans终末球老化旨在通过分析咽终末球（摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推断出秀丽隐杆线虫的年龄。C. elegans在不同年龄阶段的图像被采集。该图像属于第12天的数据集。值得注意的是，由于个体间的差异性，即使这些个体在遗传上完全相同，其形态学和生物学年龄亦不完全对应。数据集的来源为遗传学实验室/国家老化研究所/美国国立卫生研究院。
