About the PR
Viewing a pathogen with a zoomed-in microscope will show each symptom's DNA string.

Why's this needed?
Makes patho easier for benevolent virologists, and does very little for malevolent virologists, as they'll likely include every symptom anyways.

It's not a very thematic or realistic method, but it's an easy code-change that helps a department that suffers a lot of public vitriol.

Oh, nice change, this makes it a lot easier to filter out the beneficial symptoms when you use the mutating method to get symptoms!
(And also to filter out the bad symptoms you don't want as an antag, I sometimes remove stuff like disorientation to be slightly less of an ass.)

In regards to curing, what do all of you think about the irradiation module? Would you rather it be removed completely? I was leaning more towards making it take a pretty long time and maybe making less cures, so there is an option to use it when the suppressant is hard to get for some reason, but normally you would use the regular cure making system for time reasons.
(Most of the suppressants are now pretty easy to get, imo. The worst ones are gastronomical (because you need a load of vending machine junk) and sedative, because after you run out of morphine you'll need to get a morphine plant. (Or a source of ketamine, but come on.))

Also, what if the health scanner showed an accumulated threat level for a pathogen, so you could usually tell at a glance if it is harmful or beneficial? Say, if you made a pathogen with 3 healing symptoms and sneezing it would show a high positive value. If you made a pathogen with just 3 instagibbing symptoms, a high negative one. But you could still make things stealthy by adding a mix of beneficial and harmful symptoms.
This would let people trust beneficial pathogens a lot more easily. I was actually already considering something like that a while ago, this was my WIP list of classifications.
