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 0 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「秀丽隐杆线虫咽终端球衰老数据集（C. elegans terminal bulb aging）」的核心目标为：基于秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）咽部终端球（其进食器官的组成部分）的图像，推断该线虫的年龄。研究人员已针对不同时间年龄的秀丽隐杆线虫采集了对应图像，本次展示的图像属于日龄0数据集的一部分。需注意，即便个体为遗传背景完全一致的同基因个体，由于个体间存在表型差异，其形态年龄与时间年龄并非完全相关。本数据集的来源为遗传学实验室、美国国家衰老研究所（NIA）及美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）。
