*The human microbiome contains 10,000 species, and about 100 times as many genes as "humans" themselves have (see [https://hmpdacc.org/ Human Microbiome Project], [https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2013/11/01/242361826/exploring-the-invisible-universe-that-lives-on-us-and-in-us/ NPR animation]).

*[[wp:Stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency|STAP cells]] would have been maybe the most important genetic discovery ever if it weren't a hoax! The suggestion that cells could become totipotent by simply being immersed in weak acid was eerily reminiscent of [[:Image:Chapter_12_.MISSION_COMPLETE.png|this]].
