The end of the road for BritainsDNA and myDNAGlobal

I wrote back in May last year that the BritainsDNA family of companies, which includes ScotlandsDNA, IrelandsDNA, CymruDNAWales and YorkshiresDNA, had been rebranded under the new name of MyDNAglobal after the company was taken over by Source BioScience.

On checking the MyDNAglobal website today I discovered that the company is no longer taking orders. The following notice now appears on the website
Dear Customers 
It is with regret that effective from 3rd July 2017 MyDNA.global will no longer be accepting new orders. 
Whilst we have enjoyed offering this individual service it is unfortunately not something we are able to provide going forwards. 
All existing orders will be honoured – if you have recently purchased a test and have yet to return your sample please do so by 31 August 2017 so we can process your results.  
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that samples received after 31 August 2017 will be processed. 
For those customers who have already received their results these will be available to you via our website until 31 August 2018, after which they will no longer be available. 
If you have any queries please email our support team: support@myDNA.global. 
Thank you for your custom.
If you've tested with any of these companies I would suggest that you download all your data while you have the chance.

Update
For further information on the demise of BritainsDNA and background information on Source Bioscience see the article by Ewan Lamb BritainsDNA - a thing of the past.
