Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:2567, 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 终端球部老化旨在通过咽喉终端球部（摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推断出线虫的年龄。C. elegans 的图像在不同的时间节点被采集。该图像属于第10天的数据集。需要注意的是，尽管个体在遗传上完全相同，但由于个体间的变异，形态学年龄和实际年龄并不完全相关。本数据集的来源为美国国家老年研究所（NIA）遗传学实验室。
