\n Blackstone Group is taking a majority stake in DNA testing business Ancestry.com.<\/p>\n

The private-equity giant headed by billionaire Stephen Schwarzman is acquiring 75 percent of the family history research business for $4.7 billion, Bloomberg reports.<\/p>\n

The acquisition would be the first for Blackstone\u2019s massive $25 billion private equity fund.<\/p>\n

The deal has been in the works for several months, according to the report, and may be announced as soon as Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Ancestry.com\u2019s popular tests general<\/a>ly use saliva to determine the user\u2019s ethnic heritage. It has run ad campaigns showing people who have found family members they didn\u2019t know about through the service.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon last winter warned service members to stay away from DNA kits if they got one as a Christmas gift, warning that the genetic tests could put their private data at risk of exploitation by third parties.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
