According to this study, it may have had to do with the deactivation (technically known as “pseudogenization”) of an umami taste receptor gene. Umami is the taste that makes things like meat, soy sauce, and mushrooms extra yummy. Apparently, at some point in panda evolution, the umami receptor became non-functional. Based on how much the gene has changed, the authors calculate that this happened around the same time that pandas started eating bamboo. Whether it’s cause or effect is unclear, although the authors think the switch to bamboo may have happened before the gene was lost. Regardless, the loss of the gene reinforced the panda’s vegetarian diet because it made meat less delicious to the bears.

What effect does genetic engineering have on the evolution of a species?
Oxana [17]
It has the potential to add new traits to future generations of a specific species (hopefully good ones) but it could also impact that species in a negative way and decimate the species, because mother nature is a significantly better genetic engineer then we will ever be and we don't always know exactly what the indirect impacts of the new genetic "advantages" we implement will be.
