Please read your reference again.

The California decision authorizes DNA Direct to engage in direct-to-consumer ancestry test sales and marketing

From your article.

The Bay Area companies are the first to get the state’s OK after 14 firms were told in June to halt their direct-to-consumer genetic testing services.

Notice that there is no mention of "ANCESTRY" tests?

Furthermore, the issue that the California authorization directly addresses is the issue of internet sales of DNA testing for the purpose of personalized medicine. California wants all such testing to be directed by physicians.

Nothing DNAG does in terms of it's Ancestry products applies to personalized medicine and Doctors testing requirements.

All hype..........NO SUBSTANCE.

Dgplexus there should have been a PR on this and there wasn't. Even DANG thinks this is insignificant.
