Ranks in the top 61% 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 most common explanations as to why these genes were not annotated as coding were that they were readthrough genes (669), were annotated or tagged as pseudogenes (484), were annotated as IG/TR fragments (429), were antisense to a coding gene (239), were annotated as lncRNA (217), or were retrovirus-derived (72).”
