How do I open the second research line, and does building a second research station do it automatically?

The designer answered this in 2014 to 2018 and the rulebook says the same.

No — building the second station does not open the line. You need a second research station to exist, then use Sequence a Disease (for example as the free bonus action from building the station) to place a Sequence card on the empty space. Until then you may have only one Sequence card, though you can replace it.
