CIL:1875

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.

「秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）咽终端球衰老」数据集的研究目标，是基于秀丽隐杆线虫咽部终端球——进食器官的组成部分——的显微图像，推断该线虫的实际年龄。本研究采集了不同时序年龄的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本图像属于第2日龄数据集的一部分。需注意：即便个体为基因完全一致的克隆种群，由于个体间存在生理变异，其形态学年龄与实际时序年龄并不完全相关。本数据集的来源为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）下属美国国立衰老研究所（NIA）遗传学实验室。
