An engineered genome can be treated like a software codebase. It has authorship marks, embedded signatures, inherited legacy code and unintended dependencies, so a failing organism can be investigated the way an engineer debugs a program. You compare the running version against archived builds, find where the code has drifted, and ask which upstream component introduced the fault.
When a single corporation supplies a region with one genetically uniform, company-controlled crop, genetic diversity no longer contains local failures. A single defect in the shared genome spreads across every field at once. Farmers who depend on the vendor's seed and signatures cannot fall back on their own stock, so the vendor's design becomes a single point of failure for the food supply.
Tracing where an engineered artifact came from depends on design records, version histories and data repositories. The artifact keeps running in the world while nobody can still read its origins, so forensics becomes a hunt for scattered offline fragments and for the people who remember the old system.
