#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.
