Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:1783, 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 2 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.

本数据集旨在根据食道终末泡（摄食器官的一部分）的图像推断秀丽隐杆线虫的年龄。秀丽隐杆线虫的图像在不同时间点进行采集，以反映其不同的生理年龄。本图像属于第2天的数据集。值得注意的是，尽管个体在遗传上完全相同，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。该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。
