Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2010) CIL:2763, 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 8 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端部膨大老化旨在通过分析咽部端部膨大（摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推断秀丽隐杆线虫的年龄。对C. elegans在不同生物年龄阶段的图像进行了采集。本图像属于第8天的数据集。需要注意的是，由于个体间的变异，形态年龄与生物年龄之间并非完全对应，尽管这些个体在遗传上具有同一性。数据集的来源为遗传学实验室/国家老年研究所/美国国立卫生研究院。
