CIL:1691

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.

本秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）咽端球衰老数据集的研究目的，是基于线虫咽端球（其摄食器官的组成部分）的图像，推断线虫的实际年龄。研究人员采集了不同实龄下的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本次提供的图像即属于第0天数据集。需注意，即便受试个体为遗传背景完全一致的线虫，由于个体间存在表型差异，其形态学年龄与实龄并不能完全相关联。该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/美国国家衰老研究所（NIA）。
