Provenance — who produced it, who reused it
Linked to 2 papers in the literature. Roles are inferred factual signals (who deposited the data vs who reused it), with counts — never a judgement about any author.

Deep data QC
67/100 · DStandardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained · evidence: measured
This is a human miRNA-Seq library (small-RNA Illumina HiSeq 2000 run), and on QC grounds it lands as a borderline-fail (D, 67/100) that is genuinely usable but with an important caveat. The base chemistry is excellent — pct_q30 of 97.2% and mean base quality of 38.3 show the sequencer called bases very confidently, so raw signal quality is not the problem. What drags the grade down are adapter_content at 97.45% and duplication_rate at 91.74%, both of which scored zero; for a 50 bp small-RNA library this is actually expected behaviour (mature miRNAs are ~22 nt, so reads run straight into adapter, and high duplication reflects a few highly abundant miRNAs rather than PCR artifact), but it means you cannot reuse these reads without aggressive adapter trimming and miRNA-aware deduplication, and a generic RNA-seq pipeline would choke. Note also that the evidence_strength is low (1) with total_reads, total_bases and checksum only reported rather than measured, so treat throughput and depth as provisional pending a full measured pass before you rely on this for quantitative miRNA expression.
The D grade is a transparent weighted average. Each metric below scored from 0–100% against the published bulk-RNA-seq thresholds, weighted by its importance; nothing is hidden or subjective.

Scientific quality
Based on hands-on reproduction of the papers that use this dataset. A reproducible paper that stands on this data is positive evidence; a flagged one is a prompt to look closer — never a verdict on the dataset itself without the evidence.
