why does Google want or need to own a piece of a biotech company? Honestly, I think this is part of their "index all the world's information" strategy, which is why it is coming out of corporate pockets rather than Brin's own bank account. Human Genome data would be up there with health information that Google is already trying to gather with their Google Health product (https://www.google.com/health https://www.google.com/health). I would suggest there is at least some minor correlation between the two, even if it is distant.
