The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is an established model for studying various interventions into the ageing process, which allowed to find numerous genes and drugs interfering with agein. This dataset of widefield time-lapse (days 1 to 3) micrographs of C. elegans was initially obtained in the Pincus lab (Pincus et al. 2011, Zhang et al. 2016). Here, the dataset was annotated for lifespan, movement and segmentation of C. elegans, and was employed for developing a machine learning framework (Yakimovich et al. 2021). All files are in 8-bit PNG format. Movement and lifespan annotations are provided using folder structure. Segmentation annotation is provided by the accompanying masks.

Keywords: C. elegans; Caenorhabditis elegans; lifespan; movement; segmentation; microscopy
