CIL:1760

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 2 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（C. elegans）咽球衰老数据集，其旨在通过咽球（进食器官的组成部分）的显微图像推断线虫的实际年龄。该数据集的图像采集自不同实足年龄的秀丽隐杆线虫。本次展示的图像属于第2日龄数据集子集。需注意，即便个体为遗传同源的，由于个体间存在表型异质性，其形态年龄与实足年龄之间并不完全相关。本数据集的来源为隶属于美国国立衰老研究所（NIA）与美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的遗传学实验室。
