Detailed Description

The abstract concept of a genetic structure encoding some specific phenotypic feature; the atomic unit of a Genstruct.

Actually it's not so atomic at physical level, since it can contain even lower level structures, but in logical level it should be atomic.

The class should be abstract, but is not because Array doesn't allow that.
