I don't think that really makes sense because biological systems are constantly being recombined naturally. You're not introducing anything new, just creating a new combination. Every act of sexual reproduction is "tweaking" on two existing models in production that "work" as is.
It's more akin to putting out a new library or programming language (designed thing) into the internet (complex ecosystem).
