Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:2201, Caenorhabditis elegans. CIL. Dataset

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 4 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.

该数据集C. elegans终端球部衰老的目的在于根据咽终端球部（摄食器官的一部分）的图像推断线虫的年龄。C. elegans在不同年龄阶段的图像被采集。本图像属于第4天的数据集。需要注意的是，尽管个体在遗传上完全相同，但由于个体间的可变性，形态学年龄和生理学年龄并不完全相关。数据集的来源为遗传学实验室/国家老年研究所/美国国立卫生研究院。
