A bankruptcy court this week approved the $305 million sale of genetics testing firm 23andMe to a nonprofit organization led by the company's former CEO Anne Wojcicki, the company announced. The 23andMe bankruptcy earlier this year elicited fears about the security of genetic data belonging to the company's roughly 15 million customers.

A bankruptcy court approved the $305M sale of 23andMe to a nonprofit led by Anne Wojcicki, raising questions about data protection.

Anne Wojcicki's nonprofit TTAM Research Institute will purchase "substantially all" of San Francisco-based 23andMe's assets. The sale comes amid a lawsuit filed by a number of U.S. states that sought to block 23andMe from selling genetic data without customers' consent.
