What examples of genetic engineering and/or eugenics are there in Star Trek other than the Eugenics Wars?
Excluding Julian Bashir and the products of the human Eugenic Wars... do we ever encounter any species in Star Trek that have engaged in significant genetic self-modification or eugenics?
Basically are any other member species of the federation ever shown or said to have engaged in self genetic modification or is it only humans?
Are there any species or colonies inside or outside the Federation shown or implied to do so?

Note that it's only the genetic manipulation of humans that's illegal in the Federation.

If I had a proper computer I’d answer with the Klingons (where their genetic engineering is the in-universe explanation for their appearance differences from TOS to the modern series), and also the Vorta and the Jem’Hadar, which were modified by the Founders for their respective roles. DS9 brings up a lot of genetic engineering, actually...

Memory-alpha has a section on eugenics.
In Plato's Stepchildren the aliens in that episode are the remnants of the population of the planet Sahndara "who were bred for their self-reliance, contemplation, and longevity".
The only other things it mentions about non-human eugenics are in relation to the Dominion, but that is the Founders acting on other races.
