It’s all in the genes!
Would your jaw drop in utter amazement when I say that the Google founder Sergey Brin’s wife is busy “bringing personalized medicine to the public” by helping them “read and understand their DNA”?
All this comes at a price, of course (and a rather steep one I might add). A little startup called 23andMe co-founded by Anne Wojciki (wo-JES-ki) unravels the mystery of your ancestry for a cool $999.00 so that you can know all that is to know (and maybe more) about yourself.
Another one of those Web 2.0 marvels!

I was intrigued by the DNA analysis too, more for the fun of it than medical reasons - till I saw the price tag! Then I decided - sometimes it’s better to be surprised :)
