=head2 new
Args [1] : Bio::EnsEMBL::Gene - the gene which is associated.
Args [2] : Bio::EnsEMBL::Transcript - the transcript which is associated.
Args [3] : String type - the type of assocation, e.g. "antisense",
"sense_intronic","sense_overlaping_exonic","chimeric_sense_exonic".
Example : $uta = new Bio::EnsEMBL::UnconventionalTranscriptAssociation($gene, $transcript, "antisense")
Description: create an UnconventionalTranscriptAssociation object.
