Now that Apple has launched (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/14/apple-researchkit-medical-researchers/) a platform for medical research (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/09/apple-researchkit/), it's apparently ready to expand what that platform can do. MIT's sources understand (http://www.technologyreview.com/news/537081/apple-has-plans-for-your-dna/?utm_campaign=socialsync&utm_medium=social-post&utm_source=twitter) that the Cupertino crew is working with academics on ResearchKit apps that let iPhone users get DNA tests. Apple wouldn't directly scoop up DNA, as you might imagine -- rather, it would make it easier for you to collect genes and share them with scholars. You could see some findings within the app, too, so you might know whether or not a condition is genetic.
