CIL:1648

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）咽端球衰老”旨在基于线虫咽端球——其摄食器官的一部分——的图像，推断线虫的实足年龄。研究人员采集了不同实足日龄的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本次展示的图像即属于第0日数据集的一部分。需注意：即便个体为遗传一致的同基因系，由于个体间存在表型变异，其形态学特征与实足年龄之间并非完全相关。该数据集由美国国立衰老研究所（NIA）与美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）下属的遗传学实验室提供。
