CIL:1608

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「秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）咽终端球衰老」旨在通过其摄食器官的组成部分——咽终端球（pharynx terminal bulb）的显微图像，推断线虫的实足年龄。数据集采集了不同日龄的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本示例图像属于第0日数据集。需注意：即便个体为遗传背景完全一致的同基因线虫，由于个体间存在生理异质性，其形态学年龄与实足年龄并不完全相关。本数据集的来源为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）下属遗传学实验室暨美国国家衰老研究所（NIA）。
