Ultracontinuous Single Haplotype Genome Assemblies for the Domestic Cat (Felis catus) and Asian Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) is a dataset published in Journal of Heredity (2020). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 1.1, placing it in the top 18.6% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 44 times, with 28 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 67/100.
Ranks in the top 19% 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.
“Raw sequence reads and assembly accessions are found under SRA BioProject PRJNA670214 ( Felis catus ) and PRJNA682572 ( Prionailurus bengalensis ).”
The text provides SRA BioProject accessions, which are persistent identifiers in the repository accession scheme. [majority verdict 'yes' (4/5 passes agreed)]
