Changing oxygen requirements is actually less useful, what gene modding is really about is its ability to produce humans who can live in really cold places ( since safe green house gas has the upper limit of effectiveness ) and what's more important - in high/low gravity because planets gravity cannot be changed.
Primary example in Sol system would be Titan - planet that can't be heated enough to allow for default human habitation.
