Reviewers: intercept weaponization of genetics

Jedidiah Carlson and his colleagues recommend that institutional review boards check papers on population genetics for their ‘weaponization’ potential (Nature 610, 444–447; 2022). But in the case of publicly available genomic data sets such as the 1000 Genomes Project (The 1000 Genomes Project Consortium. Nature 526, 68–74; 2015), this would not be an option.
