They don't own the DNA itself, but they do own the rights to the resulting sequence. It's akin to a biography--you don't own the person's life, but the author put it down on paper and owns the rights to the book.

Multiple companies sequencing the same DNA don't end up in copyright spats because the DNA itself isn't copyrightable.
