1.) It may limit the company to human genetics. This is OK; however, if the company has a Google like ambition to organize all genetic knowledge, it should have a different name.

2.) Within humans, the name is exclusionary since it does not take into account conditions such as Klinefelter’s syndrome (esp. xxyy). In other words, 23 could be a rather simplistic view of a “me”.

I thought it was a great post! Thanks for the typo correction, not sure how I missed that one!

One correction to what was probably a typo: the alternative I suggested was “46andMe” (the actual number of chromosomes), not “43andMe.”
