+ Create splice sites from existing annotations.
+
+
+ Parameters
+ ----------
+ exon_featuretype : string
+ Feature type to use in order to infer splice sites. Typically `"exon"`.
+
+ grandparent_featuretype : string
+ If `grandparent_featuretype` is not None, then group exons by
+ children of this featuretype. If `granparent_featuretype` is
+ "gene" (default), then splice sites will be created for all first-level
+ children of genes. This may include mRNA, rRNA, ncRNA, etc. If
+ you only want to infer splice sites from one of these featuretypes
+ (e.g., mRNA), then use the `parent_featuretype` kwarg which is
+ mutually exclusive with `grandparent_featuretype`.
+
+ parent_featuretype : string
+ If `parent_featuretype` is not None, then only use this featuretype
+ to infer splice sites. Use this if you only want a subset of
+ featuretypes to have splice sites (e.g., "mRNA" only, and not ncRNA or
+ rRNA). Mutually exclusive with `grandparent_featuretype`.
+
+ merge_attributes : bool
+ Whether or not to merge attributes from all exons. If False then no
+ attributes will be created for the splice sites.
+
+ numeric_sort : bool
+ If True, then merged attributes that can be cast to float will be
+ sorted by their numeric values (but will still be returned as
+ string). This is useful, for example, when creating splice sites between
+ exons and the exons have exon_number attributes as an integer.
+ Using numeric_sort=True will ensure that the returned exons have
+ merged exon_number attribute of ['9', '10'] (numerically sorted)
+ rather than ['10', '9'] (alphabetically sorted).
+
+ Returns
+ -------
+ A generator object that yields :class:`Feature` objects representing
+ new splice sites
+
+ Notes
+ -----
+ The returned generator can be passed directly to the
+ :meth:`FeatureDB.update` method to permanently add them to the
+ database, e.g., ::
+
+ db.update(db.create_splice sites())
