The purpose of the dataset C. elegans muscle aging is to deduce the age of the nemathode based on images of muscles. Images of C. elegans were taken at different chronological ages. This image is part of the day 4 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.

本数据集旨在根据肌肉图像推断秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）的年龄。该数据集收录了不同生物年代（chronological age）的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，其中本图像属于第4天的数据集。需要注意的是，由于个体间的变异，形态学年龄（morphological age）与生物年龄并不完全对应，尽管这些个体在遗传上具有一致性。数据集的来源为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）国家老龄化研究所（NIA）遗传学实验室。
