Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:2166, 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 4 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端部球体老化之旨在依据咽部端部球体（摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推断出线虫的年龄。C. elegans的图像在不同时间节点采集。该图像隶属于第4天数据集。需要注意的是，尽管个体间基因型相同，但由于个体差异，形态学年龄与时间年龄并非完全对应。数据集来源于美国国家卫生研究院（NIH）的国家老年病研究所（NIA）遗传学实验室。
