CIL:1920

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.本数据集为秀丽隐杆线虫咽端球衰老数据集（C. elegans terminal bulb aging），旨在通过咽端球（取食器官的组成部分）的图像推断线虫的年龄。研究团队采集了不同日龄的秀丽隐杆线虫图像，本示例图像属于第4日龄数据集子集。需注意：即便个体遗传背景一致，由于个体间存在异质性，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卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health, NIH）下属美国国家衰老研究所（National Institute on Aging, NIA）遗传学实验室。
