BIN
- Barcode Index Number. A code that groups similar COI barcodes into one working unit. A BIN is not a species name, but it can flag a species that carries two names. (at Abstract)
Coecobrya tenebricosa
- A DNA barcode study placed Polish vivarium specimens in one barcode cluster, BIN ACZ2224, which matches the species name. A barcode cluster is a convenient grouping and is not the same as a species. (at Abstract)
COI barcode
- A short piece of mitochondrial DNA, the COI gene, that labs read to help identify an animal. A match suggests a name, but a barcode alone does not settle one. (at Abstract)
