The ancestry-research company #23andMe has filed for #bankruptcy, raising questions about what happens to its stockpile of customer #DNA profiles. Attorney Matt Muphy joins "NewsNation Prime" with @NatashaZouves to discuss why customers have a right to be concerned. -------------------------------- Customers of 23andMe are rightly concerned about what could happen to their DNA profiles now that the ancestry-research company has filed for bankruptcy, attorney and author Matt Murphy says. “It looks like it’s up for grabs,” he said of the genetic information. “And there doesn’t really seem to be any parameters regarding its use.” After a customer provides a saliva sample, DNA-testing companies like 23andMe provide a profile of a person’s genetic heritage.
