this has been extremely frustrating, but we remain optimistic that things will change for the better soon...

Genetic data for sale, what can only go wrong? www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... As I point out in my prior work, the biobanking field has not quite anticipated such risks link.springer.com/article/10.1....

23andMe’s DNA database is up for sale. Who might want it, and what for?

After 23andMe announced that it’s headed to bankruptcy court, it’s unclear what happens to the mass of sensitive genetic data that it holds.
