A single-cell Arabidopsis root atlas reveals developmental trajectories in wild-type and cell identity mutants is a dataset published in Developmental Cell (2022). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 4.4, placing it in the top 5% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 363 times, with 100 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 69/100.
Ranks in the top 5% 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.
“GSE152766”
The paper provides a GEO accession (GSE152766), which is a persistent identifier scheme.
