Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:2232, 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 6 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秀丽隐杆线虫咽部末梢（摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推断线虫的年龄。该数据集收录了不同生理年龄的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，其中所展示的图像属于第6天的数据集。值得注意的是，尽管个体在遗传上具有同质性，但由于个体间的差异性，形态学和生理学年龄并不完全一致。本数据集的来源为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）国家衰老研究所（NIA）遗传实验室。
