(Bloomberg) –Sharing DNA data may soon provide people with more than just the answer to whether they've got any Irish relatives.
LunaDNA, a startup backed by the genome-sequencing giant Illumina Inc., has asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to approve its novel plan to pay consumers for sharing their DNA data. It's a departure from the current standard in which companies like 23andMe charge people to analyze their genes, then use that data for research.
