Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:2636, 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 12 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终端球状体老化旨在基于咽端球状体（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，以获取其图像。本图像属于第12天的数据集。需要注意的是，尽管个体在遗传上相同，但由于个体间的变异性，形态学年龄和实际年龄并不完全一致。本数据集的来源为美国国家卫生研究院（NIH）遗传学实验室/国家老龄化研究所（NIA）。
