Draft Genome Sequences of Three Shewanella sp. Strains Isolated from Urban Freshwaters in the Ohio River Valley, USA is a dataset published in Microbiology Resource Announcements (2021). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0, placing it in the top 100% of the data-sharing corpus. Its calibrated FAIR score is 71/100.
Ranks in the top 100% 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.
“PRJNA734631”
The paper provides a BioProject accession (PRJNA734631) which is a persistent identifier scheme for the dataset.

“DDBJ/ENA/GenBank”
The paper names GenBank (part of DDBJ/ENA/GenBank) as the repository where the genome sequences are deposited, which is a recognised data repository.
