Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:2310, 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 6 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终末神经节衰老研究旨在根据咽部终末神经节（摄食器官的一部分）的图像推断线虫的年龄。C. elegans在不同生理年龄时拍摄的图像构成了本数据集。请注意，尽管个体在遗传上完全相同，但由于个体之间的差异性，形态学和生理年龄并不完全一致。该数据集的来源为美国国家卫生研究院（NIH）国家老年研究所（NIA）遗传学实验室。
