Mendelian randomization maps causal biology in the big data era
Original: Mapping causal biology: Mendelian randomization in the era of big data
A new science news release examines how Mendelian randomization is being applied in the era of big data to map causal biology, using genetic variants as instruments to infer whether associations between risk factors and diseases are truly causal. The piece highlights the method's growing role in genetics and epidemiology as large-scale genomic datasets become widely available.
Why now: Researchers and science media are discussing how big genomic datasets are expanding the use of Mendelian randomization to establish causal links.
