This Little Silver Cube Could Be the Future of Personal DNA Testing
Aside from the logo of Spartan Bioscience, the Canadian company behind it, there's nothing much that tells you what it can do. But this unassuming device holds within it a bona fide revolution—at least, according to the medical doctor behind its design.
