Abstract: Genomic studies of social outcomes raise ethical considerations that heighten researcher obligations to responsibly conduct and communicate their work. A study by Akimova et al. finds that most intergenerational transmission of occupational status can be ascribed to nongenetic factors, and raises questions of how such knowledge should be used and how it might be misused.
