Founder of #23andMe, #AnneWojcicki, buys back company out of #bankruptcy auction
Concerns about transfer of #genetic data to new company may now be moot.
TTAM Research Institute, a #nonprofit public benefit company also founded by #Wojcicki, won the auction with a $305 million bid for the 23andMe assets, which will not come with any company liabilities attached.

Anne Wojcicki is buying back #23andMe, because apparently, owning your own DNA data is so last decade. 🧬💰 Meanwhile, the internet continues to excel at one thing: denying access to anyone who actually wants to read the news. 🚫📄

#23andMe Says 15% of Customers Asked To Delete Their #GeneticData Since #Bankruptcy - Slashdot
Since filing for bankruptcy in March, 23andMe has received data deletion requests from 1.9 million users -- around 15% of its customer base. That number was revealed by 23andMe's interim chief executive Joseph #Selsavage during a House Oversight Committee hearing, during which lawmakers scrutinized the company's sale following an earlier bankruptcy auction.

#23andMe Sale Shows Your #Genetic Data Is Worth $17
23andMe sold genetic data of 15M people for $256M to a #pharmaceutical #Regeneron. 23andMe does not perform full genome sequences. It instead does #DNA #genotyping, which look at parts of #genome that vary from person to person.
Sale to Regeneron means #gene data collected by 23andMe will be used for development of new #drugs, which felt like the most likely and perhaps best-case scenario for the company’s bankruptcy.

#Biotech company #Regeneron to buy bankrupt #23andMe for $256M
Regeneron assured 23andMe's 15 million customers that their data—including #genetic and health information, #genealogy , and other sensitive personal information—would be safe and in good hands. Regeneron aims to use the large trove of genetic data to further its own work using genetics to develop medical advances—something 23andMe tried and failed to do.

⚠️ Genetic privacy alert: 23andMe’s bankruptcy puts your DNA data at risk 🔬📉
With user data now part of potential asset sales, EFF is urging all customers to act now:
🧬 Download your data — store it securely for personal use
🗑️ Delete your account + data — this includes reports, raw data, and family tree connections
❌ Revoke research consent — and explicitly request sample destructionWhy it matters:
• DNA reveals more than identity — it exposes health, ancestry, and family connections
• The data doesn’t just belong to you — it can implicate relatives who never opted in
• A new owner might not respect your privacyTake control now. Your genes deserve better security than a bankruptcy fire sale.

Где заканчивается наука и начинается маркетинг: сравниваю генетические тесты на происхождение
Всем привет! Меня зовут Павел, я главный редактор блога “Онлайн патента” на Хабре. Сегодня я расскажу о своем опыте взаимодействия с генетическими тестами. Но перед этим небольшое лирическое отступление. Компания 23andMe, один из лидеров рынка ДНК-тестирования, подала заявление о банкротстве по главе 11 (реорганизация). Это решение связано с многомиллионными убытками и последствиями масштабной утечки данных в конце 2023 года, когда хакеры получили доступ к информации 6,9 млн пользователей. Подозреваю, что одним из них был я.

Как компания, получившая генетический материал Снуп Дога и Опры Уинфри, стала лидером рынка, а потом обанкротилась
Фирма была основана в 2006 году супругой сооснователя Google Сергея Брина Энн Вожицки (в другой транскрипции — Анной Войжитски). Идея 23andMe пришла к ней во время «ужина миллиардеров» в Калифорнии. Вожицки спрашивала присутствующих: не фиксируют ли они негативных явлений после того, как поели спаржи. Большинство недоуменно молчали. Однако вопрошающая знала, о чем говорила: чувствительность к запаху метилмеркаптана (метантиола), образующегося при метаболизме спаржи, связана с генетикой. Такие познания Вожицки были понятны: она долгое время работала в фонде, профиль которого — инвестиции в биотехнологические компании. Предпринимательница решила обратить эти имеющиеся знания себе на пользу, создав стартап 23andMe.

"This week, the genetic testing company 23andMe filed for bankruptcy, which means the genetic data the company collected on millions of users is now up for sale. If you do not want your data included in any potential sale, it’s a good time to ask the company to delete it.
When the company first announced it was considering a sale, we highlighted many of the potential issues, including selling that data to companies with poor security practices or direct links to law enforcement. With this bankruptcy, the concerns we expressed last year remain the same. It is unclear what will happen with your genetic data if 23andMe finds a buyer, and that uncertainty is a clear indication that you should consider deleting your data. California attorney general Rob Bonta agrees."

Yes it’s a good idea to go into #23andme and delete your account before the sale https://you.23andme.com/user/edit/records/
However we are remember the #AshleyMadison hack and others where they said they deleted your data and never do. Let’s hope 23andme handles deleted data better than others

Jättimäinen DNA-analyyseja tehnyt firma meni nurin - myy todennäköisesti asiakkaiden geenitiedot kuitatakseen velkansa
23andMe on ollut yksi maailman suurimmista firmoista, joka on myynyt omien DNA-tietojen analyyseja palveluna. Suomalaisiakin asiakkaiden joukossa on eittämättä tuhansia. Nyt asiakastiedoista tulee selvitystilassa olevan firman kauppatavaraa.
Omat tietonsa voi ilmeisesti edelleen poistattaa, linkkasimme viralliset ohjeet juttumme mukaan.
