KSHV 3.0: a state-of-the-art annotation of the Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus transcriptome using cross-platform sequencing is a dataset published in mSystems (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.613, placing it in the top 32.1% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 19 times, with 16 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 56/100.
Ranks in the top 32% 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.
“PRJEB60022”
The paper gives a BioProject accession, which is a persistent identifier scheme recognised by identifiers.org. [majority verdict 'yes' (3/5 passes agreed)]

“Basecalled sequencing FastQ files used in this study have been deposited to in European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) under the following Bioproject accession number: PRJEB60022”
The dataset's content is described in running prose ('FastQ files') without an itemised inventory, so the strongest artefact is a sentence. [majority verdict 'partial' (3/5 passes agreed)]

Advisory · not in the published score
No explicit access-level label is applied to the data; the statement only describes the action of deposition, from which open access can be inferred. [downgraded to 'no' — no verifiable quote from the paper] [majority verdict 'no' (4/5 passes agreed)]
