In this release of Mantle, our primary focus has been on enhancing the usability of Mantle datasets.

We are excited to announce a host of new features designed to improve your experience. Below are detailed descriptions of the key updates and improvements we have made.

​

New Features

​

SDK Updates

The Mantle SDK has two major changes around the functionality of datasets:

• Querying in the SDK for data_type, name, unique_id, AND properties!

• Convert a query result to a dataframe in a single step.

​

Querying Datasets

The Mantle SDK can now filter datasets by property value:

fooIsBar = mantle.dataset.build_query()
  .where("props.{foo}.string.eq=Bar").execute()

Or by datatype:

fooIsBar = mantle.dataset.build_query()
  .where("data_type_unique_id=foo").execute()

This allows for finding any dataset you might need for an analysis (No need to remember Unique IDs! 🥳)

​

Converting to a DataFrame

Once you have a list of datasets from your query, you can convert it to a Pandas DataFrame that includes your dataset properties as columns:

fooIsBarDf = fooIsBar.to_dataframe()

This will automatically convert the list of datasets to a pandas dataframe for easy analysis.

For more information, see: SDK Dataset documentation

​

All Datasets View

Mantle has introduced a BRAND NEW way to visualize your datasets through the UI, an all datasets view. You can filter datasets by property, data type, and name from one navigation.

​

Primitives within Nextflow Parameters

You can now directly access a Mantle parameter of type string, integer, double, bool, or file from directly within your pipeline using Nextflow params.

By configuring your input parameters config with:

"input_integer": {
    "type": "INT"
}

You can access the integer value from within your pipeline:

params.input_integer

For more information, reach out to the Mantle team.

​

Datatype Creation

You can now create new datatypes from the Mantle UI:

For instructions on how to see: Create a datatype documentation

​

Self-Service Notebook Environments

You can now configure an analysis environment self-service within the Mantle UI. You can configure them to contain pip, conda, or open-source git repos.

For more detailed instructions, see: Create an analysis environment documentation

​

History View

We have updated the history view on the single dataset view:

• Now contains back links to analyses, pipelines, and entities
• [Enterprise Only] Shows any data ingest and egress.
