He clicked on a dashboard created by Nucleus Genomics, a founder fund support startup that compared the DNA results with a widespread data that connects the DNA results with a wide range of data that connects the results of DNA with gene. In a few seconds, he concluded that schizophrenia, empty IQ, and prostate cancer cause. “Sorry,” he shrugged.
