CIL:1161, Caenorhabditis elegans, muscle cell. In Cell Image Library

The purpose of the dataset C. elegans muscle aging is to deduce the age of the nemathode based on images of muscles. 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.

本秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）肌肉衰老数据集的核心目标是通过肌肉图像推导该线虫的实际年龄。研究人员采集了不同实龄的秀丽隐杆线虫肌肉图像。本示例图像属于第4日龄数据集子集。需注意，即便这些个体的遗传背景完全一致，由于个体间存在生理异质性，其形态学年龄与实龄之间并非完全相关。本数据集的来源为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）下属国立衰老研究所（NIA）遗传学实验室。
