Just in case someone didn't read the full article:
"Customers who purchased kits before November 22, 2013 will continue to have access to all the reports they’ve always had."
"Research is and will continue to be a significant priority for the company. The 500,000+ customers we have today have given us more than 250 million survey data points. You, our customer, have powered an incredibly important crowd-sourced research database that I believe can have a significant impact on the pace of discoveries and cures. We will continue our Parkinson’s, sarcoma, MPN and African American research projects and plan to launch more communities in 2014."
Its not like crowd-sourcing genetic correlations is ending. It just wont be expanding until this issue is resolved.
