Barcode (first digit) 1 = sugar is d-deoxyribose or its derivative (retains all non-hydrogen atoms of d-deoxyribose) and phosphate is natural (in nucleotides) or absent (in nucleosides); 2 = sugar is d-ribose or its derivative and phosphate is natural or absent; 3 = sugar is unnatural and phosphate is natural or absent. 4 = sugar is d-deoxyribose or its derivative, and phosphate is unnatural; 5 = sugar is d-ribose or its derivative, and phosphate is unnatural; 6 = sugar is unnatural and phosphate is unnatural (such cases are not yet present in MODOMICS).
