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.

该数据集C. elegans肌肉衰老的目的在于，根据肌肉图像推断出线虫的年龄。C. elegans在不同的时间节点进行了图像采集，以对应不同的生物学年龄。本图像属于第2天的数据集。需要注意的是，尽管个体在遗传上完全相同，但由于个体之间的变异，形态学年龄与生物学年龄之间并不完全对应。该数据集的来源为美国国家老年研究所（NIA）国家卫生研究院（NIH）的遗传学实验室。
