bio-causal-genomics-mendelian-randomization

bio-causal-genomics-mendelian-randomization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 154 tokens per session (9,450 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-causal-genomics-mendelian-randomization, MIT.

A statistical method that uses inherited genetic differences to estimate whether one trait causes another from GWAS summary statistics, which are condensed results from large genetic studies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study questions such as whether a biomarker affects disease risk, compare causal estimates, detect invalid genetic instruments, and analyze multiple exposures together.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish a possible cause from a trait that merely happens alongside an outcome, while testing the result with several complementary methods.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bio-causal-genomics-mendelian-randomization scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 421 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: TwoSampleMR 0.6.0+, MendelianRandomization 0.10+, MR-PRESSO 1.0+, cause 1.2+, MVMR 0.4+, ieugwasr 1.0+, MRlap 0.0.3.2+, coloc 5.2+, mrclust 0.1+, lhcMR 0.0.1+, R 4.4+. Both TwoSampleMR 0.6.0 and ieugwasr 1.0 are the JWT-transition versions; older versions still expect deprecated OAuth.

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

  • R: packageVersion('<pkg>') then ?function_name to verify parameters
  • CLI (plink, GCTA-GSMR): <tool> --version then <tool> --help

If code throws an error referencing a function that has moved (e.g. ieugwasr::ld_clump vs TwoSampleMR::clump_data) or an OAuth token failure, introspect the installed API and adapt the example rather than retrying.

Mendelian Randomization

"Test whether trait X causally affects trait Y from GWAS summary statistics" -> Use genetic variants as instrumental variables (IVs) that satisfy three assumptions (relevance, independence, exclusion restriction) to estimate beta_causal = beta_outcome / beta_exposure under the IV framework (Davey Smith & Ebrahim 2003 IJE 32:1; Burgess & Thompson 2021 Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2nd ed.). Tool choice is a decision about the regime (one-sample vs two-sample, sparse vs polygenic, drug-target vs polygenic exposure) and the pleiotropy model (balanced, directional InSIDE, correlated horizontal). Wrong tool inflates Type-I error or attenuates true effects in a direction predictable from the bias structure.

  • R: TwoSampleMR::mr() orchestrates IVW + Egger + weighted median + weighted mode in one call
  • R: MendelianRandomization::mr_ivw / mr_egger / mr_median / mr_mbe / mr_conmix per-method API (S4 objects; MR-RAPS is NOT in this package -- use TwoSampleMR::mr_raps() which wraps the GitHub mr.raps)
  • R: MRPRESSO::mr_presso() global / outlier / distortion tests
  • R: cause::cause() correlated horizontal pleiotropy mixture
  • R: MVMR::strength_mvmr() + MVMR::ivw_mvmr() multivariable conditional-F + IVW

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
