Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2010) CIL:2817, 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.

本数据集旨在通过分析秀丽隐杆线虫咽部终末球（摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推断线虫的年龄。秀丽隐杆线虫的图像在不同时间节点进行采集，以反映其不同生物钟年龄。本图像属于第8天的数据集。值得注意的是，由于个体间的变异，尽管个体在遗传上相同，形态年龄与生物钟年龄并不完全一致。该数据集的来源为美国国家老年研究所（NIA）/美国国家卫生研究院（NIH）遗传学实验室。
