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. 🚫📄

AI Unlocks DNA's Secrets: The whole internet in a shoebox?
AI breakthrough makes reading DNA data storage 3200x faster! This unlocks DNA's potential for near-eternal, hyper-dense archives. But WHAT IF this tech leads to the creation of perfect "digital ghosts" from stored memories, or forces us to confront the ethics of storing data in the molecule of life itself? The implications are vast.

For those #Genealogists who are interested, this video shows you how to copy your 23&Me results to #GedMatch , after you DOWNLOAD them from #23andMe .
#GedMatch has a host of great tools that allow you to continue analyzing your DNA and build your #FamilyTree with #GeneticGenealogy .
Be aware that law enforcement can also use this particular database. However, you must OPT IN to allow your data to be accessible to them. So far, they have been using it to help identify unknown "Jane/John Doe" bodies and solve #ColdCase crimes.

It's official...
23&Me has filed for bankruptcy.
The company has been rejecting any buyout attempts, but their Board of Directors is now saying that a Court-supervised sale is the best path forward. Part of the reason for their financial troubles was a 2023 #DataBreach that affected millions of customers and hurt their credibility in the marketplace.
Yesterday, California's A.G. reminded consumers that they have the right to demand their data be deleted and that 23&Me destroy any genetic samples. (I would add that you also have the option of downloading your #DNA data and then uploading it to #GedMatch .)
