Hi Neal, are you interested in knowing the unassigned BINs in the world? While there are no reliable estimates for the total number of species on Earth, it’s likely in the tens of millions! We have DNA sequences for about 1.3 million species in BOLD. You can explore them here: portal.boldsystems.org
