Thirty genetically modified humans were born recently. Their DNA was artificially changed as part of an experiment conducted by the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey. More details HERE.

The experiment was a procedure meant to aid women who had trouble conceiving children. Genetic material from another woman was inserted into their eggs prior to conception, and now the resulting babies each have three, not two, parents (at least, with regard to DNA.) As these children grow and have kids of their own, this hybrid DNA will be passed to their own children. In effect, a new strain of humanity has been introduced.
