What is the math behind Plague Inc DNA points?

Solution 1:

For your first question, while I could not find any specific formula it seems that the more severe your plaque the more DNA points you get from both killing and infecting people. It also seems that it is not a consistent amount but instead has a slight variation for each point.

For your second question, while ATP boost adds 8 DNA points every game I could not find any specific numbers for the other ones on the wiki or anywhere else. Some forums I found seemed to say that both Cytochrome Surge and Metabolic Jump seem to about double the amount of DNA points earned.

Overall, it seems there is no real specific formula for DNA points, with it all being slightly randomized.
