Just wanted to say that most info is written from a canonical, mostly pro-Imperial/anti-Chaos viewpoint. That is why for example the Word Bearers are described as Traitors and not as misunderstood philosophers. For the Imperium, the Alphas are Traitors, whether they think otherwise or not, and whether they have been misguided or not. Don't forget they are said to act according to how they THINK the Emperor would want them to - they don't really KNOW how the Emperor would react. After 10000 years of hostile actions they may seem a bit negative to the eyes of the average Imperial. As for the gene sample, the phrase "it is lost" I think describes the canon as it stands now in all its possibilities.
