A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in China and one in the U.S. has developed the POCKET DNA-testing kit—a small, inexpensive system that uses a 3-D-printed integrated chip and a smartphone to perform DNA tests on small samples of various materials. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the group describes the system and its possible uses.
