A catalog of tens of thousands of viruses from human metagenomes reveals hidden associations with chronic diseases is a dataset published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2021). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 4.6, placing it in the top 4.8% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 295 times, with 100 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 75/100.
Ranks in the top 5% for downstream scientific impact
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.

“The analysis resulted in over 180,000 putative viral sequences. The sequences were classified into operational taxonomic units (OTUs) by clustering at 95% average nucleotide identity across 85% of contig length, according to the community-recommended standard ( 54 , 55 ) ( Materials and Methods ). A final database of 45,033 sequences representing nonredundant virus OTUs was generated ( Fig. 1 ), and this database will herein be referred to as the Cenote Human Virome Database (CHVD, download available at https://zenodo.org/record/4498884 ) ( 56 ).”
