Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:2145, 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C. elegans端部球体衰老之旨在依据咽部端部球体（摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推断线虫的年龄。C. elegans在不同时间点的图像被采集以构建本数据集。值得注意的是，尽管个体间基因型完全相同，但由于个体差异，形态学年龄与实际年龄并不完全对应。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。
