'uma' n. petal
...is a reference to Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy?

There are a lot of good puns in this group of words. Here's the ones I've found:
(Pun spoilers ahead here too.)
There are a few in there I noticed, but you've picked up on most of them as well. Given the complexity of the "virus" one (which I didn't see), I'm impressed you got it so quickly. Well done also on the DNA one - I got hung up on the initial {roS-}, because one of the scientists who played a key role in the discovery of DNA's structure was *Ros*alind Franklin.
Another one is {yomIj} "neutron" which, when spelled backwards, is {jImoy} "beloved Jim" - or "Jimmy", as in "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius". And {'oynot} "flesh" surely can't be anything but a Shakespearean reference: spelled backwards again, it becomes {tonyo'} - that is, Antonio, the eponymous Merchant of Venice from whom the moneylender Shylock sought his "pound of flesh".
