Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2010) CIL:2676, 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 8 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终端球茎老化旨在基于咽部终端球茎（摄食器官的一部分）的图像推断线虫的年龄。C. elegans在不同的时间节点被拍摄图像，以获取其不同年龄阶段的图像。本图像属于第8天数据集的一部分。需要注意的是，由于个体间的差异性，尽管这些个体在遗传学上是相同的，形态学年龄与时间年龄并不完全对应。该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）。
