Complete Genome Sequences of Six Lactobacillus iners Strains Isolated from the Human Vagina is a dataset published in Microbiology Resource Announcements (2020). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.743, placing it in the top 27.1% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 15 times, with 11 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 58/100.
Ranks in the top 27% 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.
“The six genome sequences and three plasmid sequences have been deposited in the NCBI GenBank with accession numbers CP049223 to CP049231 .”
The paper provides GenBank accession numbers, which are persistent identifiers, for the genome sequences.
