# pybedtools.bedtool.BedTool.introns

BedTool.introns(gene='gene', exon='exon')

  Create intron features (requires specific input format).

  NOTE: this method assumes a simple file with non-overlapping exons. For more sophisticated features, consider the gffutils package instead.

  Given a BED12 or a GFF with exons, create a new `BedTool` with just introns. The output is a bed6 file with the score column (5) being one of ‘intron’/’utr5’/’utr3’
