在我们最近绘制的人类基因组图谱的推动下，遗传学研究日益突出，并开始与教育研究重新交叉。我们描述了这些领域之前的交叉点，解析它们的有害方式。然后，我们讨论当今时代遗传学研究的新特征，重点是分子遗传数据的可用性和全基因组关联研究的激增所带来的可能性。我们讨论了分子遗传学研究和教育研究融合所带来的前景和潜在陷阱。遗传数据的闸门已经打开。社会科学和生物医学科学之间的合作；政策制定者、教育工作者和研究人员之间的公开对话；事实证明，公众参与对于制定强调公平的法规和研究设计至关重要。
Driven by our recent mapping of the human genome, genetics research is increasingly prominent and beginning to reintersect with education research. We describe previous intersections of these fields, Parsing on the ways that they were harmful. We then discuss novel features of genetics research in the current era, with an emphasis on possibilities deriving from the availability of molecular genetic data and the proliferation of genome-wide association studies. We discuss both the promises and potential pitfalls resulting from the convergence of molecular genetic research and education research. The floodgates of genetic data have opened. Collaboration between those in the social and biomedical sciences; open conversation among policy makers, educators, and researchers; and public engagement will all prove critical for enacting regulations and research designs that emphasize equity.
