Creates an object of class Gene containing the intron-exon structures of genes. Given a start and end position, strand and chromosome, all the intron-exon strcutures of all genes laying in this region will be retrieved.

1	makeGeneRegion(start, end, chromosome, strand, biomart, dp = NULL)

`start`	Start position on chromosome
`end`	End position on chromosome
`chromosome`	Chromosome name
`strand`	Strand either + or -
`biomart`	Mart object, created by the useMart function of biomaRt
`dp`	Object of class DisplayPars, determines the display of features on the plot

An object of class Gene
