save

DE.save(directory, /, *, overwrite=False)

Save a DE object to directory (which must not exist unless overwrite=True, and will be created) with the table at table.parquet.

If the DE object contains voom info (i.e. was created with return_voom_info=True in Pseudobulk.de(), the default), also saves each cell type’s voom weights and voom plot data to f’{cell_type}_voom_weights.parquet’ and f’{cell_type}_voom_plot_data.parquet’, as well as a text file, cell_types.txt, containing the cell types.

Parameters:

• directory: str | Path

  the directory to save the DE object to

• overwrite: bool

  if False, raises an error if the directory exists; if True, overwrites files inside it as necessary

Return type:

None
