The “Minimum Information about an ENvironmental Sequence” (MIENS) specification is a dataset published in Nature Precedings (2010). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.654, placing it in the top 46.3% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 9 times, with 4 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 28/100.
We present the Genomic Standards Consortium’s (GSC) “Minimum Information about an ENvironmental Sequence” (MIENS) standard for describing marker genes. Adoption of MIENS will enhance our ability to analyze natural genetic diversity across the Tree of Life as it is currently being documented by massive DNA sequencing efforts from myriad ecosystems in our ever-changing biosphere.

Base Score Contribution
0.345
From this paper's citation signal
Citation Network Contribution
0.308
From 4 citing papers with measurable signal
Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 53% comes from its base citations and 47% from the citation network (4 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
