Ancestry has announced that it will end its 15 month-long product Ancestry Health which was launched in October 2019. They are discontinuing the product so they can focus on their core business. It appears that DNA testing has hit a plateau with the loss of jobs at both Ancestry and 23andMe.

It is unclear if the acquisition of Ancestry by the Blackstone Group Inc. for $4.7 Billion which was completed last month has anything to do with the change in ending Ancestry Health.
