Greengenes, a Chimera-Checked 16S rRNA Gene Database and Workbench Compatible with ARB is a dataset published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology (2006). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 24.1, placing it in the top 2.4% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 11,229 times, with 185 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 35/100.
A 16S rRNA gene database (http://greengenes.lbl.gov) addresses limitations of public repositories by providing chimera screening, standard alignment, and taxonomic classification using multiple published taxonomies. It was found that there is incongruent taxonomic nomenclature among curators even at the phylum level. Putative chimeras were identified in 3% of environmental sequences and in 0.2% of records derived from isolates. Environmental sequences were classified into 100 phylum-level lineages in the Archaea and Bacteria.

Base Score Contribution
1.4
From this paper's citation signal
Citation Network Contribution
22.7
From 185 citing papers with measurable signal
Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 6% comes from its base citations and 94% from the citation network (185 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
