There is no doubt that technology has been advancing rapidly and in ways no one could have imagined before. This is can be proven in many ways, but one astonishing way in which we have realized technology has been expanded is through the development of the DNA App.

Right now, you’re probably thinking, “What does that even mean?” If you have heard about this soon-to-be app store, chances are that you have been staying up-to-date with tech news. Do you have any idea what we are talking about? Follow along to learn about this new phenomenon.

The DNA App store will be designed to get information from users genomes to help them determine their health risks and ancestry, as well as help them with anything from nutrition planning to family planning. This store will be the first genetic app store ever. The company taking charge of this task is Helix. Their goal is to make decoding personal genomes affordable and less complicated.

This is how it will work:

A curious person looking to fulfill their thirst for knowledge of their own being will go onto the app and order a product kit. They will have to send a saliva sample back to Helix. The company will then be able to unlock hundreds of data and provide the user with the information they wanted to know. The saliva sample will be stored in their data but, users will be able to control the data by deciding who gets access to it or not.

This app store is said to go live within the next couple of years. When it does launch, the app will be available on both Android and Apple stores.

Did you ever think technology would have made these advancements?
