assigning column names to a pandas series

Question

I have a pandas series

object x
Ezh2   2
Hmgb   7
Irf1   1

I want to save this as a dataframe with column names Gene and Count respectivel

Answer 1

You can also use the .to_frame() method.

If it is a Series, I assume 'Gene' is already the index, and will remain the index after converting it to a DataFrame. The name argument of .to_frame() will name the column.

x = x.to_frame('count')

If you want them both as columns, you can reset the index:

x = x.to_frame('count').reset_index()
