**decoupler** is a package containing different statistical methods to extract biological activities from omics data within a unified framework.
This is its faster and memory efficient Python implementation, for the R version go [here](https://github.com/saezlab/decoupleR).
For further information and example tutorials, please check our [documentation](https://decoupler-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html).
If you have any question or problem do not hesitate to open an [issue](https://github.com/saezlab/decoupler-py/issues).
