“If 23andMe has its way, the Whitaker family’s life-changing experience is a harbinger of things to come. At the end of June, the California-based company–co-founded by Anne Wojcicki, who is married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin–announced that it is seeking the blessing of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its $299 panel of tests that give ordinary people a window into their extraordinary DNA. Assuming it gets that governmental gold seal (the FDA has 90 days to respond), there’s a good chance that cheapie DNA tests could become increasingly commonplace. That’s great if you’re an information lover.”
