CIL:1658

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.

「秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）咽端球衰老」数据集的研究目的为：基于线虫咽部端球（pharynx terminal bulb，进食器官（eating apparatus）的一部分）的图像，推断线虫的实际年龄。研究人员采集了不同实龄（chronological age）的秀丽隐杆线虫图像。本图像为第0天数据集的一部分。需注意：即便个体为遗传背景完全一致的同基因系，由于个体间存在生理异质性，其形态年龄（morphological age）与实际日龄并非完全相关。本数据集的来源为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）、美国国立衰老研究所（NIA）遗传学实验室。
