A comprehensive analysis of 3′UTRs in Caenorhabditis elegans is a dataset published in Nucleic Acids Research (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.354, placing it in the top 49.9% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 7 times, with 5 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 54/100.
Ranks in the top 50% 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.
“The 3′UTR dataset described in this study has been uploaded to the WormBase ( www.WormBase.org ) (Release WS293) and the 3′UTRome ( www.UTRome.org ) (Release v3) websites.”
The paper gives URLs (www.WormBase.org, www.UTRome.org) as the location of the data, not a persistent identifier scheme (DOI, Handle, ARK, or repository accession).
