CIL:1600

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 0 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（Caenorhabditis elegans）咽部终球衰老数据集，其研究目标为基于咽部终球——属于线虫取食器官的组成部分——的图像，推断线虫的实际年龄。研究人员采集了不同日龄秀丽隐杆线虫的相关图像，本次示例图像属于日龄0数据集的一部分。需注意，即便受试个体遗传背景完全一致，由于个体间存在生理异质性，线虫的形态学年龄与实际日龄并非完全相关。本数据集的来源为遗传学实验室（美国国立衰老研究所/NIA、美国国立卫生研究院/NIH）。
