The company's co-founder is Ann Wojcicki, Google co-founder Sergey Brin's new spouse. According to the filing, Ann's company helps consumers understand and browse their genome.

Too lazy to start a new post, so I'm adding a great Cytoscape plugin called MiMI (Michigan Molecular Interactions) http://www.eecs.umich.edu/db/mimi/ In a nutshell, MiMI integrates major protein-protein interactions (ppi) databases like MIPS, MINT, BioGRID, HPRD and DIP into one so users like me don't have to scavange around each database to find data :D ...
