that is only somehting that the chaos gods tell horus in the 2nd book of the HH series.. it has to be doubted a lot.

Empi did some genetic manipulating before even the thunder warriors (the outcast dead) and the whole primarch project took centuries with access to tons of research and "pure" specimens.

the warp per definition taints genetic material simply by exposure

--> hence the traitor legions have no pure, useable gene-seed.

--> Legions have no access to proper research facilities and specimens on which to conduct every experiment needed to get to that level of sophistication.

It would not be as much about knowledge, which the chaos gods do not really have, as they are

1. not interested in the research, they can manipulate the beings and bless them with mutations to get the things done they want to get done.

2. they have little access to the research, even the Primarch data in "Delivarance Lost" is far from the whole picture and the Alpha Legion did not obtain everything.
