+
+    This is a wrapper around
+    :py:func:`~gypsum_client.upload_file_actions.upload_directory`
+    specific to the `scRNAseq` package.
+
+    See Also:
+        :py:func:`~gypsum_client.upload_file_actions.upload_directory`,
+        to upload a directory to the gypsum backend.
+
+    Args:
+        Name:
+            Dataset name.
+
+        version:
+            Version name.
+
+        directory:
+            Path to a directory containing the ``files`` to be uploaded.
+            This directory is assumed to correspond to a version of an asset.
+
+        cache_dir:
+            Path to the cache for saving files, e.g., in
+            :py:func:`~gypsum_client.save_operations.save_version`.
+
+            Used to convert symbolic links to upload links,see
+            :py:func:`~gypsum_client.prepare_directory_for_upload.prepare_directory_upload`.
+
+        deduplicate:
+            Whether the backend should attempt deduplication of ``files``
+            in the immediately previous version.
+            Defaults to True.
+
+        probation:
+            Whether to perform a probational upload.
+            Defaults to False.
+
+        url:
+            URL of the gypsum REST API.
+
+        token:
+            GitHub access token to authenticate to the gypsum REST API.
+
+        concurrent:
+            Number of concurrent downloads.
+            Defaults to 1.
+
+        abort_failed:
+            Whether to abort the upload on any failure.
+
+            Setting this to `False` can be helpful for diagnosing upload problems.
+
+    Returns:
+        `True` if successfull, otherwise `False`.
