<<As if the swirl of excitement around the Silicon Valley pairing of Ms. Wojcicki and Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, were not enough, Ms. Wojcicki has captured still more attention with a biotech company she recently co-founded, 23andMe. And her husband’s company is an investor.

Google disclosed last week in a regulatory filing that it has invested $3.9 million in 23andMe, a start-up that, according to its Web site, is developing ways “to help you make sense of your own genetic information.” The company’s name refers to the number of paired chromosomes in human DNA.>>
