one of the simplest forms of engineering a virus is called; serial passageing with artificial selection this means passing the pathogen from one individual to others then selecting based on desired character to inocculate the next cohort of hosts; this will amplify the frequency of the desired character. this process will also occur naturally, accompanied by natural selection. this produces a genome that is devoid of the base pair level artefacts that can be observed when molecular genetic tools are used to edit and splice a genome. molecular editing produces sequence artefacts its like leaving a bit of your scissors behind when you cut a string. this is easy to spot; a smoking gun. artifically directed selection is not easy to spot but would be evident in the case that frequencies of characters or traits are not distributed according to the laws of transmission genetics
