Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:2591, 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 10 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咽部终端球体的图像（摄食器官的一部分），推断线虫的年龄。C. elegans在不同生物年龄阶段拍摄的照片构成了本数据集。值得注意的是，尽管个体基因型相同，但由于个体间的变异，形态学年龄与生物年龄并非完全对应。该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。
