OK, author and title please: it's a story of an unusual, and accidental, genetically engineered plague. The results are devastating and horrific ... or are they?

Clue time: the book is divided into sections, named after phases of cell mitosis (I think).

Long Shot.
Darwin's Children by Greg Bear.
I have read the book, and it did come to mind from your first clue, but It required quite a bit of google foo to find it from the bits I remembered. Not sure of the names of the chapters though, as I don't have the book at hand.

Nope, but close! This book was published in the 1980s. There's some biological computation going on ...

Sorry for the delay, I've been a bit distracted recently
What was the name of the spaceship John Crichton was piloting when he flew into a wormhole, and a whole lot of trouble?
