  • Accession number (bioinformatics), a unique identifier given to a biological polymer sequence (DNA, protein) when it is submitted to a sequence database.
  • Accession number (library science), the sequential number given to each new book, magazine subscription, or recording as it is entered in the catalog of a library.
