A new high-quality genome assembly and annotation for the threatened Florida Scrub-Jay ( Aphelocoma coerulescens ) is a dataset published in G3 Genes Genomes Genetics (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.239, placing it in the top 61.3% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 3 times, with 1 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 67/100.
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 genome assembly is available on NCBI under the accession GCA_041296385.1.”
The paper provides a persistent identifier in the NCBI GenBank accession scheme (GCA_041296385.1) for its own genome assembly. [majority verdict 'yes' (4/5 passes agreed)]
