Abstract
This paper examines two cases studies: Ancestry.com’s experience with law enforcement use of its genetic databases, and 23andMe’s responses to requests for users’ genomic data. Analyzing the responses to law enforcement requests by the two of the largest providers of third-party genomic services provides insight into the struggles third-party genomic services are likely to face and possible future directions for companies facing this type of law enforcement request.
