Ranks in the top 70% 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.

“the well-established chimera analysis pipeline ChiRA was used to extract the miRNAs and their target mRNA sequences from chimeric reads. Then, the precise binding sites for each miRNA–target sequence pair were computed by two RNA–RNA interaction identification algorithms, miRanda and RNAup.”
The text names specific tools (ChiRA, miRanda, RNAup) used to produce the data, meeting the class 1 definition. [majority verdict 'yes' (4/5 passes agreed)]
