Aquacyte is often the ideal choice because your starting country for most diseases will likely be Saudi Arabia and given the amount of ships it sends out, it greatly benefits from pairing with Aquacyte. It's worth mentioning that under some rare conditions, Base Oxydation can also be useful when you need to help your plague spread, for example with the Fungus disease. Genetic Miming simply slows down the cure research which is useful with aggressive diseases that sky-rocket the cure progress. Using save & reload mechanic you can choose which symptoms mutate to get the most suitable score. Generally, you'll want to get your traits as soon as possible, with the use of Darwinist gene, you get a chance for your plague to mutate the traits on its own, symptoms specifically. My personal preference is Cytochrome Surge. Cytochrome Surge, just as ATP Boost, can be used with any disease but the main difference is that it's more of a long-run investment as you get slightly more DNA from popping the occasional orange bubbles.

Can go well with any disease, most well it binds with the Shadow Plague, if you need to apply a certain strategy that requires you to get necessary traits as soon as possible. ATP boost provides starting DNA that you use to develop your traits. Easily the most useful and handy genes from the first selection.
