On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.217, placing it in the top 63% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 3 times, with 2 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 54/100.
Ranks in the top 63% 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.
“CP135238”
The paper gives a GenBank accession number, which is a persistent identifier scheme recognized by re3data. [majority verdict 'yes' (4/5 passes agreed)]

“The data for this whole-genome sequencing project have been deposited at NCBI and can be accessed using the accession numbers found in Table 1 for the BioProject, BioSample, and Genome.”
The statement points to a repository record with specific accession numbers (Colavizza category 3). [majority verdict 'yes' (3/5 passes agreed)]

“TABLE 1 Summary of assembly statistics”
The paper includes a table that itemizes key attributes of the dataset (genome size, GC content, etc.), which is a structural artefact describing the data. [majority verdict 'yes' (4/5 passes agreed)]

“The data for this whole-genome sequencing project have been deposited at NCBI and can be accessed using the accession numbers found in Table 1 for the BioProject, BioSample, and Genome. The raw reads used for the assembly are also accessible through NCBI using the SRA accession number provided in Table 1.”— not found in the paper; verdict downgraded
The paper describes the action of accessing the data at NCBI via accession numbers, but does not apply an explicit access-level label (e.g., 'open access') to the data, so the condition is inferred from the action.
