CIL:1899

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’旨在基于线虫咽终端球（pharynx terminal bulb，属于其摄食器官的一部分）的图像，推断该线虫的实际年龄。研究人员采集了不同实龄的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本图像属于第2天数据集的组成部分。需注意：即便个体为遗传一致的线虫，个体间仍存在变异，因此形态年龄与实龄并非完全相关。本数据集的来源为遗传学实验室/美国国家衰老研究所（NIA）/美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）。
