Millions of people will have their DNA data put up for sale after major at-home testing company 23andMe filed for bankruptcy.
The company, which has tested more than 15m people’s genetic makeup using post-in saliva kits, including more than 250,000 in the UK, announced that it had entered US bankruptcy protection in an attempt to sell the company.
It said that data privacy would be an “important consideration” but added that it was seeking to “maximise the value of its assets”.
