About this video

DNA-testing company 23AndMe and its founder, Anne Wojcicki, aimed to revolutionize healthcare, bringing genetic tests to homes with just a tube of spit. But challenges with its business model and continued data privacy concerns for consumers have brought the company once valued at $6 billion to a valuation of nearly $0, with Nasdaq threatening to delist it.

WSJ explains what went wrong with Wojcicki’s biotech business.
