DNA testing company 23andMe said Thursday it is laying off 100 employees in response to what has been a slowdown in demand for at-home genetic information testing services.

A 23andMe spokesman confirmed that the Sunnyvale-based company is cutting 100 jobs across the consumer-based side of its business. 23andMe is best known for its at-home testing kits that people use for researching their genetic backgrounds, building familiy trees and determining genetic predispostions to health issues.
