The popularity of for-profit genetic testing services like Ancestry and 23andMe has skyrocketed in recent years. These tests can teach users more about their ancestry or health. But they can also have some unexpected outcomes. 23andMe recently filed for bankruptcy to pursue a sale, raising questions about what could happen to users’ data under a new owner. University of Iowa law professor Anya Prince digs into the privacy considerations around sharing your DNA. Plus, Alexis Hourselt of the DNA Surprises podcast shares her own journey with genetic testing.

If you’re navigating an unexpected discovery about your family because of a genetic testing service, 23andMe has a support page here.
