I'm very aware of what Venter has accomplished, but I don't think sequencing Haemophilus influenza is more impactful than sequencing PhiX or phage and don't think it deserves a Nobel. I don't think a Nobel should be given out for the sequencing of the human genome. It was a large, systematic effort that didn't require much clever experimentation. I also don't think his post-Celera work deserves a Nobel. These are just my opinions. He's obviously a huge figure in modern science and I love hearing about him and getting to watch him speak.
