##' Convert a \code{TxDb} object or a \code{GRangesList} of exons
##' grouped by transcripts to a \code{TxFeatures} object.
##'
##' If \code{x} is a \code{GRangesList}, transcript names and gene names
##' can be specified as character vectors in metadata
##' columns \code{txName} and \code{geneName}, respectively.
##' If missing, transcript names are based on \code{names(x)}.
##' For import from GFF format, use function \code{importTranscripts}.
##'
##' In the returned \code{TxFeatures} object, column \code{type} takes
##' values \dQuote{J} (splice junction), \dQuote{I} (internal exon),
##' \dQuote{F} (5'/first exon), \dQuote{L} (3'/last exon) or \dQuote{U}
##' (unspliced).

##' Convert transcript features (predicted from RNA-seq data or
##' extracted from transcript annotation) to splice graph features.
##'
##' Splice junctions are unaltered. Exons are disjoined into
##' non-overlapping exon bins. Adjacent exon bins without a splice site
##' at the shared boundary are merged.
##'
##' Entries for splice donor and acceptor sites (positions immediately
##' upstream and downstream of introns, respectively) are added.
##'
##' In the returned \code{SGFeatures} object, column \code{type} takes
##' values \dQuote{J} (splice junction), \dQuote{E} (exon bin),
##' \dQuote{D} (splice donor) or \dQuote{A} (splice acceptor).
##' Columns \code{splice5p} and \code{splice3p} indicate mandatory
##' splices at the 5' and 3' end of exon bins, respectively
##' (determining whether reads overlapping exon boundaries must be
##' spliced at the boundary to be considered compatible).
##' \code{splice5p} (\code{splice3p}) is \code{TRUE} if the first (last)
##' position of the exon coincides with a splice acceptor (donor)
##' and it is not adjacent to a neighboring exon bin.
##'
##' Each feature is assigned a unique feature and gene identifier,
##' stored in columns \code{featureID} and \code{geneID},
##' respectively. The latter indicates features that belong to the
##' same gene, represented by a connected component in the splice graph.
