Complete genome sequence of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage Adastra is a dataset published in Microbiology Resource Announcements (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0, placing it in the top 100% of the data-sharing corpus. Its calibrated FAIR score is 58/100.
Ranks in the top 100% 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 genome sequence of phage Adastra has GenBank accession no. PP819608 and BioSample accession no. SAMN41152340 . The BioProject accession number is PRJNA1106840 , and the SRA accession number is SRR28968994 .”
The paper provides multiple persistent identifiers from the closed list, including GenBank, BioProject, and SRA accessions.
