Meanwhile, dozens of states are suing 23andMe to block the sale of DNA data collected by the company. A nonprofit headed by Anne Wojcicki, the 51-year-old co-founder and former CEO of genetic testing startup 23andMe, is the new buyer for 23andMe's assets. 23andMe customers use saliva-based testing kits to test their DNA to learn more about their genetic history and connect with relatives. Nearly two million 23andMe customers, or 15%, have deleted their genetic data from 23andMe's database since March, per The Wall Street Journal. The incident diminished consumer trust and reduced demand for 23andMe's genetic testing products.
