Software code
Our Mendelian randomization package for R can be obtained from CRAN at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MendelianRandomization/index.html or from GitHub at https://github.com/cran/MendelianRandomization. This package implements a number of methods for Mendelian randomization using summarized data.
A GitHub-editable document containing software code for running Mendelian randomization (no longer maintained / somewhat out of date) is available here.
Guidelines for reading Mendelian randomization investigations
A printable version of the checklist guidelines for MR studies, taken from Burgess et al, Wellcome Open Research 2020, can be downloaded here.
