Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:2159, 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 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.

本数据集旨在通过分析C. elegans咽部终末球（摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推断出线虫的年龄。C. elegans的图像是在不同的生物年龄下拍摄的。该图像属于第4天的数据集。值得注意的是，尽管个体在遗传上完全相同，但由于个体间的可变性，形态学年龄与生物年龄之间并不完全相关。本数据集的来源为遗传学实验室/国家老年研究所/美国国立卫生研究院。
