    That somehow makes sense. But still, shouldn’t you be able to own “the copyright” for your own DNA? If not there should be some legislation for that I think.

      I believe 23 and me stated in the past that they own the data that they process, so in essence if you, or a family member submit their DNA to them, then they own that DNA and part of the DNA of the relatives of whom submitted the sample.
