The consumer-genomics company 23andMe just sold its biobank of customer genetic data to drugmaker Regeneron for $256 million.

Regeneron is to pay $256 million in cash to acquire “substantially all” of 23andMe’s assets, including its massive biobank of around 15 million customer genetic samples and data.

    I didn’t get the choice when my easily fooled parents decided it was a good idea.

    We tried the ‘delete your 23 and me data’ but who the fuck knows if that works.

    Now some corpos own my DNA probably.

    Thanks mom.
