That is indeed a really annoying part and it would be great to have a button that splices everything that is left at once. And I agree that the lag makes it really horrible to splice large parts of pathogens safely.
I feel like I should mention though that Podrick made a patch that reduced the number of t1 symptoms from 8 to 6 a while ago, so it's much easier to get all of them (and to find combinations of them) now.
Also, I don't usually splice things together several times anymore, I just refill vials very quickly, because pathogen is pretty much an unlimited resource and vials are reusable. So I get by with a pathogen that often just has some t1 symptoms once (although it is kind of annoying).
There could definitely still be some QOL adjustments in that area though, it's still a lot of busywork.
If we are throwing out radical ideas, maybe the dna splicer could just have an infinite amount of t1s that you've put in at least once, although that would definitely need some nerfs in other places.
Less radically, I think it would be a great help if the dna analyzer screen just sorted the t1 segments that you have available and compacted them.
What I mean by this is that, say, when you destroy a sample that has aaa|bbbccc|aaabbbccc|def it would turn into
aaa x 2 | bbb x 2 | ccc x 2 | def
instead of
aaa | bbb | ccc | aaa | bbb | ccc | def.
That would make searching for the segment you are looking for way faster and less of a pain.
Another improvement to the dna analyzer that could be made is to remove the useless segment at the start that signifies the suppressant and is never part of a symptom, because it is a real noob trap.
