On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.743, placing it in the top 27.1% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 36 times, with 24 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 42/100.
Ranks in the top 27% for downstream scientific impact
Linked data & code
DataRank reads this dataset's downstream impact straight off the citation graph — no black box, no proprietary weighting. How is this computed?
FAIR checklist signals are shown for context only and do not affect DataRank scoring.
Full FAIR picture · advisory
The headline score is computed from the scored criteria — the fact-shaped checks (a repository, an accession, a licence) that two independent models agree on. The advisory criteria below are real FAIR guidance but rest on judgment calls that models read differently, so they inform without moving the number.
“Raw sequencing data have been deposited at GEO and are available under the accession code GSE234962.”— not found in the paper; verdict downgraded
The paper provides a persistent identifier string (GSE234962) from the GEO accession scheme, which is a recognized PID scheme. [downgraded to 'partial' — no verifiable quote from the paper] [majority verdict 'partial' (3/5 passes agreed)]

“Raw sequencing data have been deposited at GEO and are available under the accession code GSE234962.”— not found in the paper; verdict downgraded
The data-availability statement points to a repository record (GEO accession), which is a link to archived data in a public repository. [downgraded to 'partial' — no verifiable quote from the paper]

Advisory · not in the published score
The paper does not label the access level of the data with any vocabulary term such as 'open access' or 'publicly available'; it only states that the data are 'available' at a repository, which is an action, not a label.
