IntroVerse: a comprehensive database of introns across human tissues is a dataset published in Nucleic Acids Research (2022). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.484, placing it in the top 39.4% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 13 times, with 4 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 58/100.
Ranks in the top 39% 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.
“IntroVerse is available for data-querying and download purposes at https://rytenlab.com/browser/app/introverse”
