[ensembl-dev] Getting introns

[Andy Yates]

Hi Ben,

There's an get_all_Introns() method available on the Transcript object. The Introns are generated on the fly from the Transcript's Exons. If you need all the unique Introns for a Gene then you'll have to start to do location comparisons but all Feature objects have an equals() and overlaps() method which should help you out

Cheers,

Andy
