complete a project engineered by the biotech firm 23andMe. Mirroring the scientific method, this new technology was brought on by a simple question. Anyone in the field of science can deduct that when embarking on a scientific study or concept, first a question must be asked. The collaborators at 23andMe wanted to answer the question of how to use the vast world of science to benefit the lives of others. Leaning towards the idea of using the human genome to calculate a person?s inherited risks towards certain diseases and health issues, the company developed a hypothesis. Using this hypothesis the team at 23andMe began researching how to complete this task. Next, the team progressed on to the following step of the scientific method, which was to gathering information on the topic. For the researchers of 23andMe, the task of gathering information involved finding a necessary set of steps to execute the process of mapping the human genome. The biotech firm ended up choosing on saliva as the medium for which the consumer would export his or her DNA. Sending the patient a tightly sealed kit, saliva is collected and sent back to
