23andMe is a personal genomics company that offers DNA testing services to individuals. Users provide a saliva sample, which is analyzed in a lab to reveal information about their ancestry, genetic traits, and potential health risks. The results include insights into ethnic backgrounds, inherited characteristics, and links to certain medical conditions. This information can help people understand their genetics, inform health decisions, and connect with potential relatives. Founded in 2006, 23andMe has also contributed to genetic research and made it accessible to the general public.
