biocode

A unified taxonomic system, such as the BioCode.

The most valuable innovation of the new API 20C was the development of the biocode system.

Pettitt (1990) has advocated the use of sort/search codes to aid the computerisation of specimen records, and Heppell (1990) has outlined a biocode system for taxonomic names.

A single numeric value calculated from a collection of biometric data; profile.

Based on the coded values for sensitivity or resistance to the six chemicals, a six-digit biocode or profile was prepared.

Some biocodes for new species give identifications for species already included in the database. In these cases, additional tests must be performed to arrive at the correct identification. However, some new species do generate biocodes that are unique.

An arbitrary number or string for identifying a biological organism.

The number given before the generic name is the biocode used in the museum for cataloguing purposes.

The genomes of one or more interacting organisms.

"God code doesn't necessarily prove that God exists,” Schiller explained. “The God code is merely a massive compilation of thousands of different biocodes that have been collected by Tento's main bioscanner at TIS."

Increasingly, we are moving from sequencing one genome at a time to groups of genomes. In the future, we might all have our complete biocode sequenced (all our genomes). A biocode could be the genomes of any organism, a bioreactor, a building, or a larger system, such as the island of Moorea.

Alternative form of bio-code.

The stirring of the cognitive potential means that the biocodes within the body-mind organism are made to respond to the demands of the communicational setting.

However, the government's plan to manage and control individual biocodes, such as fingerprints, will likely cause controversy.

To encode using biological signals or markers.

In fact, then there is no reason why complex carbohydrates should shy at competition with nucleic acids and proteins for the top spot in high-density biocoding.

The hormone, then, operates according to a logic of tele-action: the capacity to modify an organ by the emission of biocoded information from some distance away.

To classify biological organisms by assigning biocodes to them.

And the money's still flooding in, there'll be biocoding work for the next decade.

The selection rule thus gained yields a more logically primal code derivation than Crick's more formal approach, and also provides certain powerful testing criteria, which eventually, will enable us in turn even to supersede them in solving this fundamental biocoding problem.

A unified code for taxonomic nomenclature first proposed in 1997.

In the light of the proposed BioCode (see Greuter et al. 1998) would culton be a suitable term for domesticated "taxa" of biology in general?

Others, however, argue that the BioCode would increase nomnclatural instability and generate confusion by the use of new rules and name changes (Brummitt 1996).
