because these technologies would let genomes be combined that had unheard of, vastly statistically unlikely amounts of luck

This sounds like you mean a Teela Brown gene. Do you actually mean that? If so, that's kind of crazy. If not, rephrase?

I think ey means something like this:

because these technologies would let genomes be combined that would have taken unheard of amounts of luck to arise naturally at any significant frequency.

I understood this to mean "would let genomes be [deliberately] combined that [would require] unheard of, vastly statistically unlikely amounts of luck [to occur naturally]"
