❓Are genetic testing startups a goldmine or gamble?
The genetic testing industry has seen both triumphs and setbacks. 23andMe, once a high-flyer, faces layoffs and declining market value. Yet others, like prenatal-focused Natera, thrive with multibillion-dollar valuations. Startups like BillionToOne and Genome Medical are raising hefty funds, while niches like pet DNA testing lose steam.
Despite past bubbles, the $10B genetic testing market is predicted to double by 2033, hinting at massive growth opportunities, but not without risks.

One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. DFR Lab sent the image through Microsoft Azure's Face Verification program and found that it was "highly unlikely" that the person in the second photo was the same as the first woman. The fact-checker Logically AI also found the claim to be false. The woman, Olena Kurilo, was also captured in a video after the airstrike and shown to have the injuries.
