Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2010) CIL:2811, 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C. elegans末端球状体衰老之旨在根据咽末端球状体（摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推导出线虫的年龄。C. elegans在不同生理年龄阶段的图像被采集。该图像属于第8天的数据集。值得注意的是，尽管个体在基因层面上一致，但由于个体间的可变性，形态学年龄与生理学年龄并非完全相关。数据集的来源为美国国家老年病研究所（NIA）/美国国家卫生研究院（NIH）遗传学实验室。
