Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2010) CIL:2733, 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端部球体衰老的旨在通过咽喉端部球体（摄食器官的一部分）的图像推断出线虫的年龄。C. elegans在不同生理年龄阶段的图像被采集。本图像属于第8天的数据集。值得注意的是，尽管个体间基因型相同，但由于个体差异，形态学年龄与生理年龄并不完全对应。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。
