In MRCIEU/TwoSampleMR: Two Sample MR Functions and Interface to MR Base Database

Mendelian randomization with GWAS summary data

A package for performing Mendelian randomization using GWAS summary data. It uses the IEU GWAS database to obtain data automatically, and a wide range of methods to run the analysis. You can use the MR-Base web app to try out a limited range of the functionality in this package, but for any serious work we strongly recommend using this R package.
