Suggested removal[edit]

The section "in popular culture" is basically a collection of badly written trivia. It has little or nothing to do with popular culture. I think it should simply be removed. What does anyone else think? Counturnameten (talk) 23:14, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First complete genome[edit]

Am I wrong thinking that Craig Venter (or his team) was the first to show a complete genome of a living organism? It was Haemophilus influenzae. I think it should be recorded in the article. 195.191.163.62 (talk) 13:00, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
