This ability gives you extra DNA to start out with, which is important to get the Prion infection started correctly. This will make the Prion infection harder to cure, which will help immensely as it spreads later in the game. Aquacyte will help get Greenland infected, which is one of the most difficult places for the infection to reach. This will help your gene cross closed borders by quickly infecting major urban centers. Sympto-Stasis will lower the cost of symptoms, allowing you to quickly reach the symptoms that will help you the most. It makes the disease easier to cure, but you'll be making it lethal that the last second, which will kill everyone before a cure can be found. This strategy relies on building a large list of symptoms quickly.
