Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2010) CIL:2780, 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终末球老化之旨在依据咽部终末球（摄食器官的一部分）图像，推导出线虫的年龄。C. elegans的图像在不同生理年龄下采集。此图像属于第8天的数据集。值得注意的是，由于个体间的变异，形态学和生理学年龄并非完全一致，尽管这些个体在遗传学上是完全相同的。数据集的来源为遗传学实验室/国家老化研究所/美国国立卫生研究院。
