The first step of this stage consists in building the following non-oriented
-graph furthere denoted as to \emph{similarity graphe}.
+graph further denoted as to \emph{similarity graph}.
In this one, the vertices are the genes. There is an edge between

+We then define the relation $\sim$ such that
$ x \sim y$ if $x$ and $y$ belong in the same connected component.
Mathematically speaking, it is obvious that this
defines an equivalence relation.
-Let $\dot{x}= \{y \in G | x \sim y\}$
+Let $\dot{x}= \{y | x \sim y\}$
denotes the equivalence class to which $x$ belongs.
-All the elements of $G$ which are equivalent to each other
+All the genes which are equivalent to each other
are also elements of the same equivalence class.

+Intuitively speaking, for two genes $g_i$ and $g_j$
in the same equivalence class, there is path from $g_i$ and $g_j$.
It signifies that each evolution step
(represented by an edge in the similarity graph)
is greater than $t$.
Genes $g_i$ and $g_j$ may thus have a common ancestor.

+We compute the core genome as follow.
+Each genome is projected according to $\pi$. We then consider the
+intersection of all the projected genomes which are considered as sets of genes
