23andMe, the personal genetics company co-founded by Anne Wojcicki, Google co-founder Sergey Brin's spouse, has raised $9 million more in funding, adding to the company's $22 million C round announced last November. This round of funding comes from MPM Capital and Johnson & Johnson Development Corp. MPM Capital Managing Director Ashley Ledbetter Dombkowski will be joining 23andMe's Board of Directors. This brings the company's total funding to nearly $54 million. 23andMe, which was founded in 2006, aims to help individuals understand their own genetic information through DNA analysis technologies and Web-based interactive tools. DNA analysis helps participants find information about their ancestry and their risks of getting certain diseases (Michael has tried the service).
