Quick, how many pairs of chromosomes do you have?If your mind just drew a blank or an image of Ethan Hawke fiddling around with tweezers in GATTACA then you probably aren't alone.The answer, of course, is 23 pairs, for a total of 46 chromosomes. And it's what the name of well-funded genetic testing company 23andMe, which has raised some$52.6 million to date, refers to.Despite the reference (which may not be obvious to most people), that name isn't a bad one, as it makes an intimidating topic sound more friendly and accessible. But now the company has another option at its disposal that's a lot more straightforward (and SEO friendly, no doubt):GeneticScreening.com.As was first reported by DomainShane, 23andMe cofounder Anne Wojcicki bought the domain for a mere $2200 on Sedo in the last two weeks.
