CIL:1923

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 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.秀丽隐杆线虫咽部终球衰老数据集（C. elegans terminal bulb aging）的构建目的，是基于咽部终球的图像推断线虫的实际年龄，咽部终球是线虫进食器官（eating apparatus）的一部分。该数据集采集了不同实足年龄的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，此图像为第4天数据集的组成部分。需注意，即便个体为基因完全一致的同系线虫，由于个体间存在差异，其形态年龄与实足年龄之间并非完全相关。该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）。
