The DNA barcode statistics for different taxonomic ranks from the BIOSCAN-5M dataset are presented, including the mean, median, standard deviation and average Shannon Diversity Index (SDI) of identical DNA barcodes across subgroups (categories) within taxonomic ranks. Additionally, the mean and standard deviation of pairwise DNA barcode sequence distances, aggregated across subgroups at each taxonomic rank, are also reported.
