  • fields (list[str], optional) – Names of the fixed fields to project.

  • info_fields (list[str], optional) – Names of the INFO fields to project.

  • genotype_fields (list[str], optional) – Names of the sample-specific genotype fields to project.

  • samples (list[str], optional) – Names of the samples to include in the genotype fields.

  • genotype_by (Literal["sample", "field"], optional [default: "sample"]) – How to project the genotype fields. If “sample”, the columns correspond to the samples. If “field”, the columns correspond to the genotype fields.

  • compressed (bool, optional [default: True]) – Whether the source is BGZF-compressed.
