CIL:1617

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.本数据集名为秀丽隐杆线虫咽端球衰老（C. elegans terminal bulb aging），旨在通过线虫咽部端球（pharynx terminal bulb，取食器官的组成部分）的显微图像，推断线虫的实际年龄。研究采集了不同实足年龄的秀丽隐杆线虫相关图像，本图像属于日龄0的数据集子集。需注意，即便个体遗传背景完全一致，由于个体间存在自然变异，其形态学年龄与实际日龄并不完全相关。本数据集的来源为美国国立衰老研究所（NIA）/美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）遗传学实验室。
