Complete genome sequence for the thermoacidophilic archaeon Metallosphaera sedula (DSM:5348) is a dataset published in Microbiology Resource Announcements (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.108, placing it in the top 72.5% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 1 time, with 1 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 50/100.
Ranks in the top 72% 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.
“CP139956”
The paper provides a GenBank genome accession (CP139956), which is a persistent identifier scheme.
