A first visual representation of a graph editor for designing and managing LSL pipelines is now available.

Key Features

  • Visual Pipeline Design: Design LSL pipelines visually using a graph-based interface.
  • Interactive Preview: View your pipeline design in action with an interactive preview feature.

Development Status

The project is actively developed by David Cebulla, a business informatics student at the University of Mannheim, as part of his Bachelor Thesis. The goal is to translate visual graph representations into corresponding LSL pipelines efficiently.

We're excited to share that our efforts to support Python in the LASSO platform are gaining momentum! A first version of the arena test driver for Python is now available on GitHub, accessible at https://github.com/SoftwareObservatorium/arena-python.

Key Features

Our current development includes support for essential data structures used in LASSO:

  • LQL: Our Lasso Query Language (LQL) implementation allows you to represent interfaces in a concise and readable manner.
  • SSN: Sequence sheet notation is also supported, providing a convenient way to work with biological sequences.
  • Stimulus Response Matrices: We've integrated the use of pandas DataFrames to create and manipulate these matrices.

What's Next

We're working on integrating our Python support into the LASSO platform, specifically the LSL pipeline language. This will enable you to leverage the full power of LASSO in your Python workflows.
