CIL:1753

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“秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）咽终端球衰老数据集”的构建目标，是基于线虫咽部咽终端球（pharynx terminal bulb，取食器官的一部分）的图像，推断线虫的时序年龄。该数据集采集了不同时序年龄的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本条图像属于第2日龄数据集子集。需注意，即便个体的遗传背景完全相同，由于个体间存在生理差异，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）下属国立衰老研究所（NIA）遗传学实验室。
