Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:2585, 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 10 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端部球体衰老数据集旨在通过分析咽端球体（摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推断秀丽隐杆线虫的年龄。该数据集中收录了不同时间节点的C. elegans图像，其中本图像属于第10天数据集。需注意的是，由于个体间的遗传同质性，形态学年龄与时间年龄之间并不完全对应，存在个体差异。数据集的来源为美国国家卫生研究院国家老化研究所遗传学实验室。
