Reference genome for the California ribbed mussel,Mytilus californianus, an ecosystem engineer is a dataset published in Journal of Heredity (2022). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.677, placing it in the top 29.5% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 18 times, with 17 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 71/100.
Ranks in the top 30% 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.
“Data generated for this study are available under NCBI BioProject PRJNA777198.”
The paper provides a NCBI BioProject accession, which is a persistent identifier in the accepted scheme list.
