TranscriptionUnit

Defines a transcription unit, similar to an operon. There is a one-to-one relationship between a promoter and a transcription unit. The transcription unit includes the promoter, nearby site that regulate its activity, and downstream genes and the terminator. Unlike operons, a transcription unit can contain a single gene, and a transcription unit can contain only one promoter. For operons containing multiple promoters, a different transcription unit would be created for each operon. See TranscriptionUnitComponent for the types of components represented.
