March 25 (Reuters) - The New York Attorney General Letitia James on Tuesday urged customers of 23andMe ME.O to delete their accounts and protect their data, after the DNA-testing firm filed for bankruptcy over the weekend.

"New Yorkers' genetic data is sensitive information that must be protected at all costs," Attorney General James said in an alert issued to consumers.
