23andMe filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Missouri federal court on Sunday night. Anne Wojcicki has resigned from her role as chief executive effective immediately, though she will remain a member of the board. The filing comes after a turbulent period for the genetic testing company, where it has struggled to generate recurring revenue, failed to stand up viable businesses and suffered a cyberattack.
