The genetic testing company 23andMe has filed for bankruptcy, prompting people who've used the service and sent in DNA samples to be analyzed to wonder what will happen to their genetic data.

23andMe has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and its co-founder and CEO has resigned as the struggling genetic testing company continues its push to cut costs.

All of 23andMe’s independent directors have resigned from its board in a rare move that marks the latest challenge for the genetic-testing company.
