Hello, Medical Tricorder

 Well, not quite, but researchers have written a smartphone app (so far iPhone only, but presumably higher end androids will get their turn) that pairs with a small handheld device to....sequence your DNA.

The idea is that researchers in remote locations won't need to ship in laptops to do the sequencing. The device may also be used to sequence the DNA of astronauts and experimental plants in space.

One day we will have that tricorder! One day...
