A High-Quality Blue Whale Genome, Segmental Duplications, and Historical Demography is a dataset published in Molecular Biology and Evolution (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.644, placing it in the top 30.8% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 22 times, with 17 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 71/100.
Ranks in the top 31% 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.
“Primary pseudohaplotype assembly is mBalMus1.pri.v3, RefSeq accession GCF_009873245.2, and GenBank accession GCA_009873245.3 .”
The paper provides a RefSeq accession (GCF_009873245.2), which is a persistent identifier in the PID scheme.
