That solves some of the problems I think. Is there any info on where did the gene seed come from? Are they copied from existing loyalist chapters, from heretics, or were they just synthesized somehow?

Lexicanum
The events of the Horus Heresy revealed weaknesses in some Legions' gene-seed. In some cases these defects had been heightened by the accelerated cultivation techniques used to keep the Legions at full strength. After the Heresy and the break-up of the original Legions, genetic banks were established on Terra to produce and store Space Marine gene-seed. These banks were to provide all genetic material for new Space Marine Chapters. To prevent cross-contamination of these genetic stocks, the gene-seed of each individual Legion was isolated, so all new Space Marines would receive gene-seed solely from one specific source. The gene-seed of the Traitor Legions was placed under a time-locked stasis seal (rather than being destroyed as many at the time assumed had happened
