From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's not really "self-replicating" if it's a virus, is it? After all, viruses by definition aren't self-replicating because they need a cell to make more copies of themselves. Citizen Premier 23:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

    • my bad. It's actually replicating in a solution of salts and nucleotides. I'll try to make that clearer in the article. Citizen Premier 23:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] when?

given the first reference, it must have been in 1972 -- M1ck1 14:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
