CIL:1636

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.本数据集为秀丽隐杆线虫咽终端球衰老（C. elegans terminal bulb aging），其研究目标为基于线虫咽部终端球（进食器官的一部分）的图像，推断线虫的年龄。该数据集的图像采集自不同实龄的秀丽隐杆线虫。该图像属于0日龄数据集。需注意，即便个体为遗传同源，由于个体间存在异质性，其形态年龄与实龄并非完全相关。本数据集的来源为遗传学实验室/美国国家衰老研究所（National Institute on Aging, NIA）/美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health, NIH）。
