Examples

“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 prerequisite for such a biocode is to compile a list of all valid names for living and extinct beings.”

“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.”

“These scores are added to generate a biocode that can be matched to a database of biocodes to give the identity of the organism tested.”

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

“"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.”

“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.”

“The pharmacopornographic entrepreneurs, who are among the contemporary leaders in global capitalism, are trying to restrict and privatize the biocodes of gender and convert them into rare and naturalized objects by means of legal and market techniques.”

“A variety of other biocodes such as ozone may prove to be advantageous in RO systems but have not been adequately studied.”

“Basic preparatory activities aimed to preserve archaeological wood are usually either biocode or stabilizing conservation methods (Dyrkowa, Jagielska 1981).”

“NACWA has also been a participant in discussions with EPA on pennethrin-impregnated clothing and copper and silver biocodes that may create problems for aquatic life.”

“But after an administration of nanites preprogrammed with epithelial biocodes cleared him right up, he'd been completely sold on the technology.”

“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).”

“The draft BioCode is largely on the pattern of the Botanical code and includes 41 Articles. some of the major points included in the BioCode are Taxa and Ranks, Status, Establishment of Names, Typification, Registration, Precedence (Priority), Homonymy, Author Citation and Hybrids.”

“The BioCode continues to progress, with the latest draft being published in 2011.”
