A revamped rat reference genome improves the discovery of genetic diversity in laboratory rats is a dataset published in Cell Genomics (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.687, placing it in the top 29.1% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 30 times, with 14 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 67/100.
Ranks in the top 29% 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.
“https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10398344”
The paper gives a DOI (10.5281/zenodo.10398344) for the joint variant calling dataset, which is a persistent identifier in a recognised scheme. [majority verdict 'yes' (4/5 passes agreed)]

“Deposited data”
The paper includes a 'Key resources table' that itemises the deposited datasets (e.g., 'Join calling of 163 WGS rat samples (VCF)') — an itemised inventory of the data. [majority verdict 'yes' (4/5 passes agreed)]

“WGS data generated for this work have been uploaded to NIH SRA (see Table S8 for SRA IDs). Other resources are available from Zenodo (See key resources table).”
The paper describes the access action (uploaded to repositories) but does not apply an explicit access-level label such as 'open access' or 'publicly available' to the data themselves. [majority verdict 'partial' (3/5 passes agreed)]
