#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.

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.
