-The field of Genome annotation pay a lot of attentions where the ability to collect and analysis genomical data can provide strong indicator for the study of life\cite{Eisen2007}. A lot of genome annotation centres present various types of annotations tools (i.e cost-effective sequencing methods\cite{Bakke2009}) on different annotation levels. Two method of gene finding in annotated genome can be categorized as: Alignment-based, composition based, or combination of both\cite{parra2007cegma}. The Alignment-based method is used when we try to predict a coding gene (i.e. Genes that produce proteins) by aligning DNA sequence of gene to the protein of cDNA sequence of homolog\cite{parra2007cegma}. This approache also used in GeneWise\cite{birney2004genewise} with known splicing signals. Composition-based mothod (known as \textit{ab initio} is based on a probabilistic model of gene structure to find genes and/or new genes accoding to the probability gene value, this method like GeneID\cite{parra2000geneid}. In this section, we will consider a new method of finding core genes from large amount of chloroplast genomes, as a solution of the previous method where stated in section two. This method is based on extracting gene features. The question now is how can we have good annotation genome? To answer this question, we need to focusing on studying the annotation accuracy\cite{Bakke2009}) of the genome. A general overview of the system is illustrated in Figure \ref{Fig1}.\\

\subsection{Genome Annotation Techniques}
-Genome annotation is considered the second stage in model pipline. Many annotation techniques were developed for annotate chloroplast genomes but the problem is that they vary in the number and type of predicting genes (i.e the ability to predict genes and \textit{for example: Transfere RNA (tRNA)} and \textit{Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)} genes). Two annotation techniques from NCBI and Dogma are considered to analyse chloroplast genomes to examine the accuracy of predicted coding genes. Figure \ref{NCBI_annotation}, illstrate two annotation technique.\\

-\caption{Genome annotation using either NCBI or Dogma}\label{NCBI_annotation}
-\end{figure}
-
-With each annotation model, we provide a quality check class for the flow of chloroplast genomes. This class has a direct access to NCBI taxonomy database based on genome accession number to retreive information for the genome. These information contains \textit{[Scientific name, lineage, Division, taxonomy ID, parentID, and Accession No]}. Examining each genome with this class (i.e based on some parameters), can ignore some genomes from this competition that not match a specific control condition.
+Genome annotation is the second stage in the model pipeline. Many techniques were developed to annotate chloroplast genomes but the problem is that they vary in the number and type of predicting genes (i.e the ability to predict genes and \textit{for example: Transfer RNA (tRNA)} and \textit{Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)} genes). Two annotation techniques from NCBI and Dogma are considered to analyse chloroplast genomes to examine the accuracy of predicted coding genes.
\subsubsection{genome annotation from NCBI}
-The objective from this step is to organize, solve genes duplications, and generate sets of genes from each genome. The input to the system is our list of chloroplast genomes, annotated from NCBI\cite{Sayers01012011}. All genomes stored as \textit{.fasta} files include collection of Protein coding genes\cite{parra2007cegma,RDogma}(gene that produce proteins) with its coding sequences.
-As a preparation step to achieve the set of core genes, we need to translate these genomes using \textit{BioPython} package\cite{chapman2000biopython}, and extracting all information needed to find the core genes. A process starts by converting each genome in fasta format to GenVision\cite{geneVision} formats from DNASTAR, and this is not an easy job. The output from this operation is a lists of genes stored in a local database for genomes, their genes names and gene counts. In this stage, we will accumulate some Gene duplications with each genome treated. In other words, duplication in gene name can comes from genes fragments as long as chloroplast DNA sequences. We defines \textit{Identical state} to be the state that each gene present only one time in a genome (i.e Gene has no copy) without considering the position or gene orientation. This state can be reached by filtering the database from redundant gene name. To do this, we have two solutions: first, we made an orthography checking. Orthographe checking is used to merge fragments of a gene to form one gene.
-Second, we convert the list of genes names for each genome (i.e. after orthography check) in the database to be a set of genes names. Mathematically speaking, if $G=\left[g_1,g_2,g_3,g_1,g_3,g_4\right]$ is a list of genes names, by using the definition of a set in mathematics, we will have $set(G)=\{g_1,g_2,g_3,g_4\}$, and $|G|=4$ where $|G|$ is the cardinality number of the set $G$ which represent the number of genes in the set.\\
-The whole process of extracting core genome based on genes names and counts among genomes is illustrate in Figure \ref{NCBI:Annotation}.\\

+The objective from this step is to organize genes, solve gene duplications, and generate sets of genes from each genome. The input to the system is our list of chloroplast genomes, annotated from NCBI.

+As a preprocessing step to achieve the set of core genes, we need to analyse these genomes (using \textit{BioPython} package\cite{chapman2000biopython}), to extracting all information needed to find the core genes. The process starts by converting each genome from fasta format to GenVision\cite{geneVision} formats from DNASTAR. The outputs from this operation are lists of genes for each genome, their genes names and gene counts. In this stage, we accumulate some Gene duplications for each treated genome. In other words, duplication in gene name can comes from genes fragments, (e.g. gene fragments treated with NCBI), as long as chloroplast DNA sequences. To ensure that all the duplications are removed, each list of genes is translated into a set of genes. NCBI genome annotation produce genes except \textit{Ribosomal rRNA}.
\subsubsection{Genome annotation from Dogma}
-Dogma is an annotation tool developed in the university of Texas by \cite{RDogma} in 2004. Dogma is an abbreviation of \textit{Dual Organellar GenoMe Annotator}\cite{RDogma} for plant chloroplast and animal mitochondrial genomes.
-It has its own database for translated the genome in all six reading frames and query the amino acid sequence database using Blast\cite{altschul1990basic}(i.e Blastx) with various parameters, and to identify protein coding genes\cite{parra2007cegma,RDogma} in the input genome based on sequence similarity of genes in Dogma database. Further more, it can produce the \textit{Transfer RNAs (tRNA)}\cite{RDogma}, and the \textit{Ribosomal RNAs (rRNA)}\cite{RDogma} and verifying their start and end positions rather than NCBI annotation tool. There are no gene duplication with dogma after solving gene fragmentation. \\
-Genome Anntation with dogma can be the key difference of extracting core genes. In figure \ref{dog:Annotation}, The step of annotation divided into two tasks: First, It starts to annotate complete choloroplast genomes (i.e \textit{Unannotated genomes} from NCBI by using Dogma web tool. The whole annotation process was done manually. The output from dogma is considered to be collection of coding genes file for each genome in the form of GeneVision\cite{geneVision} file format.\\
-Where the second task is to solve gene fragments. Defragment process starts immediately after the first task to solve fragments of coding genes for each genome to avoid gene duplication. This process will looks on fragement orientation, if it is negative, then the process apply reverse complement operations on gene sequence. All genomes after this stage are fully annotated, their genes were de-fragmented, genes lists and counts were identified. These information stored in local database.\\

+Where the second task is to solve gene fragments. Two methods used to solve genes duplication for extract core genes. First, for the method based on gene name, all the duplications are removed, where each list of genes is translated into a set of genes. Second, for the method of gene quality test, defragment process starts immediately to solve fragments of coding genes for each genome to avoid gene duplication. In each iteration, this process starts by taking one gene from gene list, search for gene duplication, if exists, look on the orientation of the fragment sequence: if it is positive, then appending fragment sequence to gene file. Otherwise, the process applies reverse complement operations on gene sequence and append it to gene file. Additional process applied to check start and stop codon and try to find appropriate start and end codon in case of missing. All genomes after this stage are fully annotated, their genes were de-fragmented, genes lists and counts were identified.\\
+
+\subsection{Core Genes Extraction}
+The goal of this step is to extract maximum core genes from sets of genes. The methodology of finding core genes is as follow: \\
+
+\subsubsection{Pre-Processing}
+We apply two pre-processing methods for organize and prepare genomes data, one method based on gene name and count, and the second method is based on sequence quality control test.\\
+In the first method, preparing chloroplasts genomes to extract core genes based on gene name and count starts after annotation process because genomes vary in genes counts and types according to the annotation used method. Then we store each genome in the database under genome name with the set of genes names. Genes counts can extracted simply by a specific length command. \textit{Intersection core matrix} will apply then to extract the core genes. The problem with this method is how we can quarantine that the gene predicted in core genes is the same gene in leaf genomes?. To answer this question, if the sequence of any gene in a genome annotated from dogma and NCBI are similar with respect to a threshold, we do not have any problem with this method. Otherwise, we have a problem, because we can not decide which sequence goes to a gene in core genes.
+The second pre-processing method state: we can predict the best annotated genome by merge the annotated genomes from NCBI and dogma based on the quality of genes names and sequences test. To generate all quality genes of each genome. the hypothesis state: Any gene will be in predicted genome if and only if the annotated genes between NCBI and Dogma pass a specific threshold of\textit{quality control test}. To accept the quality test, we applied Needle-man Wunch algorithm to compare two gene sequences with respect to pass a threshold. If the alignment score pass this threshold, then the gene will be in the predicted genome. Otherwise, the gene will be ignored. After predicting all genomes, \textit{Intersection core matrix} will apply on these new genomes to extract core genes. As shown in Algorithm \ref{Alg3:thirdM}.
-From these two tasks, we can obtain clearly one copy of coding genes. To ensure that genes produced from dogma annotation process is same as the genes in NCBI. We apply in parrallel a quality checking process that align each gene from dogma and NCBI with respect to a specific threshold.\\

-\subsection{Extract Core Genes}
-The goal of this step is trying to extract maximum core genes from sets of genes (\textit{Vectors}) in the local database. The methodology of finding core genes is dividing to three methods: \\
+\textbf{geneChk} is a subroutine, it is used to find the best similarity score between two gene sequences after applying operations like \textit{reverse, complement, and reverse complement}. The algorithm of geneChk is illustrated in Algorithm \ref{Alg3:genechk}.
-The hypothesis in first method is based on extracting core genes by finding common genes among chloroplast genomes based on extracting gene feature (i.e Gene names, genes counts). Genomes vary in genes counts according to the method of annotation used, so that extracting maximum core genes can be done by constructing Intersection Core Matrix (\textit{ICM}).\\
-While the hypothesis of second method is based on comparing the sequence of reference genes of one annotated genome with other unannotated genomes sequences in Blast database, by using Blastn\cite{Sayers01012011} (nucleotide sequence alignment tool from NCBI). The last method, is based on merge all genes from NCBI and Dogma annotation, then apply a sequence similarity base method (Quality Control test) using Needle-man Wunch algorithm to predict a new genomes. Using predicted genomes to extract core genes using previous methods. Figure \ref{wholesystem}, illustrate the whole system operations.

-\end{figure}
+\subsubsection{Intersection Core Matrix (\textit{ICM})}
-In the first method, the idea is to collect from each iteration the maximum number of common genes. To do so, the system build an \textit{Intersection core matrix(ICM)}. ICM here is a two dimensional symmetric matrix (considered as a vector space) where each row and column represent a vector for one genome. Each position in ICM stores the \textit{intersection scores}. Intersection Score(IS) is the cardinality number of a core genes comes from intersecting one vector with other vectors in vector space. Taking maximum cardinality from each row and then take the maximum of them will result to select the maximum cardinality in the vector space. Maximum cardinality results to select two genomes with their maximum core. Mathematically speaking, if we have an $n \times m$ vector space matrix where $n=m=\text{number of vectors in local database}$, then lets consider:\\
+The idea behind extracting core genes is to collect iteratively the maximum number of common genes between two genomes. To do so, the system builds an \textit{Intersection core matrix (ICM)}. ICM is a two dimensional symmetric matrix where each row and column represent one genome. Each position in ICM stores the \textit{intersection scores(IS)}. The Intersection Score is the cardinality number of a core genes which comes from intersecting one genome with other ones. Maximum cardinality results to select two genomes with their maximum core. Mathematically speaking, if we have an $n \times n$ matrix where $n=\text{number of genomes in local database}$, then lets consider:\\
\begin{equation}
Score=\max_{i<j}\vert x_i \cap x_j\vert
\label{Eq1}
\end{equation}\\
-Where $x_i, x_j$ are vectors in the matrix. Generate new core genes is depending on the value of intersecting two vectors, we call it $Score$:\\
+Where $x_i, x_j$ are elements in the matrix. The generation of a new core genes is depending on the cardinality value of intersection scores, we call it \textit{Score}:
$$\text{New Core} = \begin{cases}
-\text{Ignored} & \text{if $Score=0$;} \\
-\text{new Core id} & \text{if $Score>0$.}
-\end{cases}$$\\
+\text{Ignored} & \text{if $\textit{Score}=0$;} \\
+\text{new Core id} & \text{if $\textit{Score}>0$.}
+\end{cases}$$
-if $Score=0$ then we have \textit{disjoint relation} (i.e no common genes between two genomes). In this case the system ignore the vector that smash the core genes. Otherwise, The system will remove these two vectors from ICM and add new core vector with a \textit{coreID} of them to ICM for the calculation in next iteration. The partial core vectors generated with its values will store in the local database for reused to draw the tree. this process repeat until all vectors treated.
-We observe that ICM will result to be very large because of the huge amount of data that it stores. In addition, this will results to be time and memory consuming for calculating the intersection scores by using just genes names. To increase the speed of calculations, we can calculate the upper triangle scores only and exclude diagonal scores. This will reduce whole processing time and memory to half. The time complexity for this process after enhancement changed from $O(n^2-n)$ to $O(\frac{(n-1).n}{2})$. The Algorithm of construction the vector matrix and extracting the vector of maximum core genes where illustrated in Algorithm \ref{Alg1:ICM}. The output from this step is the maximum core vector with its two vectors to draw it in a tree.\\
+if $\textit{Score}=0$ then we have \textit{disjoint relation} (i.e no common genes between two genomes). In this case the system ignores the genome that annul the core genes size. Otherwise, The system will removes these two genomes from ICM and add new core genomes with a \textit{coreID} of them to ICM for the calculation in next iteration. This process will reduce the size of ICM and repeat until all genomes are treated (i.e ICM has no more genomes).
+We observe that ICM is very large because of the amount of data that it stores. This results to be time and memory consuming for calculating the intersection scores. To increase the speed of calculations, it is sufficient to only calculate the upper triangle scores. The time complexity for this process after enhancement is thus $O(\frac{(n-1).n}{2})$. Algorithm \ref{Alg1:ICM} illustrates the construction of the ICM matrix and the extraction of the core genes where \textit{GenomeList}, represents the database where all genomes data are stored. At each iteration, it computes the maximum core genes with its two genomes parents.
\begin{algorithm}[H]
\caption{Extract Maximum Intersection Score}
\RETURN $max(B1)$
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}
-\textit{GenomeList} represents the local database.\\
-In second Method, due to the number of annotated genomes, annotate each genome can be very exhausted task specially with Dogma, because dogma offer a web tool for annotation, so that, each genome must annotate using this web tool. This operation need to do manually. We prefer to recover this problem by choosing one reference chloroplast and querying each reference gene by using \textit{Blastn} to examin its existance in remaining unannotated genomes in blast database. collect all match genomes from each gene hits, to satisfy the hypothesis "the gene who exists in maximum number of genomes also exist in a core genes". In addition, we can also extract the maximum core genes by examine how many genes present with each genome?. Algorithm \ref{Alg2:secondM}, state the general algorithm for second method. \\
+\subsection{Features Visualization}
+The goal here is to visualize the results by building a tree of evolution. All Core genes generated with their genes are very important information in the tree, because they can be viewed as an ancestor information for two genomes or more. Further more, each node represents a genome or core as \textit{(Genes count:Family name, Scientific names, Accession number)}, Edges represent numbers of lost genes from genomes-core or core-core relationship. The number of lost genes here can represent an important factor for evolution, it represents how much lost of genes for the species in same or different families. By the principle of classification, small number of gene lost among species indicate that those species are close to each other and belong to same family, while big genes lost means that we have an evolutionary relationship between species from different families. To see the picture clearly, Phylogenetic tree is an evolutionary tree generated also by the system. Generating this tree is based on the distances among genes sequences. There are many resources to build such tree (for example: PHYML\cite{guindon2005phyml}, RAxML{\cite{stamatakis2008raxml,stamatakis2005raxml}, BioNJ , and TNT\cite{goloboff2008tnt}}. We consider to use RAxML\cite{stamatakis2008raxml,stamatakis2005raxml} because it is fast and accurate for build large trees for large count of genomes sequences. The procedure of constructing phylogenetic tree stated in the following steps:
-\begin{algorithm}[H]

-\end{algorithmic}
-\end{algorithm}
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Extract gene sequence for all gene in all core genes, store it in database.
+\item Use multiple alignment tool such as (****to be write after see christophe****) to align these sequences with each others.
+\item aligned genomes sequences then submitted to RAxML program to compute the distances and draw phylogenetic tree.
+\end{enumerate}
-The hypothesis in last method state: we can predict the best annotated genome by merge the annotated genomes from NCBI and dogma based on the quality of genes names and sequences. To generate all quality genes of each genome. the hypothesis state: Any gene will be in predicted genome if and only if the annotated genes between NCBI and Dogma pass a specific threshold of\textit{quality control test}. To accept the quality test, we applied Needle-man Wunch algorithm to compare two gene sequences with respect to pass a threshold. If the alignment score pass this threshold, then the gene will be in the predicted genome, else the gene will be ignored. After predicting all genomes, one of previous two methods can be applied to extract core genes.
-
-\subsection{Visualizing Relationships}
-The goal here is to visualizing the results by build a tree of evolution. The system can produce this tree automatically by using Dot graphs package\cite{gansner2002drawing} from Graphviz library and all information available in a database. Core genes generated with their genes can be very important information in the tree, because they can viewed as an ancestor information for two genomes or more. Further more, each node represents a genome or core as \textit{(Genes count:Family name, Scientific names, Accession number)}, Edges represent numbers of lost genes from genomes-core or core-core relationship. The number of lost genes here can represent an important factor for evolution, it represents how much lost of genes for the species in same or different families. By the principle of classification, small number of gene lost among species indicate that those species are close to each other and belong to same family, while big genes lost means that species is far to be in the same family. To see the picture clearly, Phylogenetic tree is an evolutionary tree generated also by the system. Generating this tree is based on the distances among genes sequences. There are many resources to build such tree (for example: PHYML\cite{guindon2005phyml}, RAxML{\cite{stamatakis2008raxml,stamatakis2005raxml}, BioNJ , and TNT\cite{goloboff2008tnt}}. We consider to use RAxML\cite{stamatakis2008raxml,stamatakis2005raxml} to generate this tree.

\section{Implementation}
We implemented four algorithms to extract maximum core genes from large amount of chloroplast genomes. Two algorithms used to extract core genes based on NCBI annotation, and the others based on dogma annotation tool. Evolutionary tree generated as a result from each method implementation. In this section, we will present the four methods, and how they can extract maximum core genes?, and how the developed code will generate the evolutionary tree.
\subsubsection{Core Genes based on NCBI Annotation}
The first idea to construct the core genome is based on the extraction of Genes names (as gene presence or absence). For instant, in this stage neither sequence comparison nor new annotation were made, we just want to extract all genes with counts stored in each chloroplast genome, then find the intersection core genes based on gene names. \\
-The pipeline of extracting core genes can summarize in the following steps:\\
-First, we apply the genome annotation method using NCBI annotation tool. Genome quality check can be used in this step to ensure that genomes pass some quality condition. Then, the system lunch annotation process using NCBI to extract code genes (i.e \textit{exons}) and solve gene fragments. From NCBI, we did not observe any problem with genes fragments, but there are a problem of genes orthography (e.g two different genes sequences with same gene name). After we obtain all annotated genomes from NCBI to the local database, the code will then automatically will generate GenVision\cite{geneVision} file format to lunch the second step to extract coding genes names and counts. The competition will start by building intersection matrix to intersect genomes vectors in the local database with the others. New core vector for two leaf vectors will generate and a specific \textit{CoreId} will assign to it. an evolutionary tree will take place by using all data generated from step 1 and 2. The tree will also display the amount of genes lost from each intersection iteration. A specific excel file will be generated that store all the data in local database. The whole operation illstrate in Figure \ref{NCBI:geneextraction}.

+The pipeline of extracting core genes can summarize in the following steps according to pre-processing method used:\\
-\subsubsection{Core Genes based on Dogma Annotation}
-The main goal is to get as much as possible the core genes of maximum coding genes names. According to NCBI annotation problem based on \cite{Bakke2009}, annotation method like dogma can give us more reliable coding genes than NCBI. This is because NCBI annotation can carry some annotation and gene identification errors. The general overview of whole process of extraction illustrated in figure \ref{dog:Annotation}. From this figure, the pipeline of extracting core genes can summarize in the following steps:\\
-First, we apply the genome annotation method using Dogma annotation tool. Genome quality check can be used in this step to ensure that genomes pass some quality condition. Then, the system lunch annotation process using Dogma to extract code genes (i.e \textit{exons}) and solve gene fragments. The key difference here is that dogma can generate in addition transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA. As a result from annotation process with dogma is genomes files in GenVision\cite{geneVision} file format, the code will lunch genes de-fragments process to avoid genes duplications. little problems of genes orthography (e.g two different genes sequences with same gene name) where exists. After we obtain all annotated genomes from dogma, we store it in the local database. The code will then automatically lunch the second step to extract coding genes names and counts. The competition will start by building intersection matrix to intersect genomes vectors in the local database with the others. New core vector for two leaf vectors will generate and a specific \textit{CoreId} will assign to it. an evolutionary tree will take place by using all data generated from step 1 and 2. The tree will also display the amount of genes lost from each intersection iteration. A specific excel file will be generated that store all the data in local database. The whole operation illstrate in Figure \ref{dogma:geneextraction}.

-The main drawback from the method of extracting core genes based on gene names and counts is that we can not depending only on genes names because of three causes: first, the genome may have not totally named (This can be found in early versions of NCBI genomes), so we will have some lost sequences. Second, we may have two genes sharing the same name, while their sequences are different. Third, we need to annotate all the genomes.
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item We downloads already annotated chloroplast genomes in the form of fasta coding genes (i.e \textit{exons}).
+\item Extract genes names and apply to solve gene duplication using first method.
+\item Convert fasta file format to geneVision file format to generate ICM.
+\item Calculate ICM matrix to find maximum core \textit{Score}. New core genes for two genomes will generate and a specific \textit{CoreId} will assign to it. This process continue until no elements remain in the matrix.
+\item Evolutionary tree will take place by using all data generated from step 1 and 4. The tree will also display the amount of genes lost from each intersection iteration. A specific excel file will be generated that store all the data in local database.
+\end{enumerate}
-\subsection{Extract Core Genes based on Genes Sequences}
-We discussed before on the hypothesis of the second method. In this section, we will implement this hypothesis by using ncbi-Blast alignment tool. Implementation of this method is dividing into two parts: \textit{Core genes from NCBI Annotation} and \textit{Core Genes from Dogma Annotation}. For instance, for the two parts, selecting a reference genome can be a key difference among predicting Core genes. After choosing a reference genome, Local blast database will then created to store the rest of Un-annotated chloroplast genomes. \\
+There main drawback with this method is genes orthography (e.g two different genes sequences with same gene name). In this case, Gene lost is considered by solving gene duplication based on first method to solve gene duplication.
-We will present the algorithm in the following steps:
+\subsubsection{Core Genes based on Dogma Annotation}
+The main goal is to get as much as possible the core genes of maximum coding genes names. According to NCBI annotation problem based on \cite{Bakke2009}, annotation method like dogma can give us more reliable coding genes than NCBI. This is because NCBI annotation can carry some annotation and gene identification errors. The general overview of whole process of extraction illustrated in figure \ref{wholesystem}.
+extracting core genes based on genes names and counts summarized in the following steps:\\
\begin{enumerate}
-\item Select a reference genome: we need to select good reference genome from our population, To do so, we can choose \textit{Lycopersicon esculentum cultivar LA3023 chloroplast NC\_007898.3} to be the reference genome if we consider the version of annotation, or \textit{Zea Mays NC\_001666.2} if we consider the largest number of coding genes based on NCBI annotation.The aim is to extract the maximum core genes. In order to achieve this goal, we choose \textit{Zea Mays NC\_001666.2} to be our reference genome.
-\item Build Blast database for the rest of unannotated genomes.
-\item Compare reference Genes: based on the genomes in the database. We querying each reference gene with the database by using \textbf{Blastn}. The result with alignment scores for each gene will store in separated file.
-\item Generate match table: In this table, each row represent referenced genes, while columns represent genomes. To fill this table, a developed code will open each output file for reference genes and extract the number of genomes and a list of genomes names where gene sequence have hits.
+\item We apply the genome annotation manually using Dogma annotation tool.
+\item Analysing genomes to store lists of code genes names (i.e \textit{exons}). solve gene fragments is done by using first method in solve gene fragments. The output from annotation process with dogma is genomes files in GenVision file format. Sets of genes were stored in the database.
+\item Generate ICM matrix to calculate maximum core genes.
+\item Draw the evolutionary tree by extracted all genes sequences from each core. Then applying multiple alignment process on the sequences to calculate the distance among cores to draw a phylogenetic tree.
+
\end{enumerate}
-The core genome can be extracted from the table by taking as possible the maximum number of genes that exists in the maximum number of genomes.
+
+The main drawback from the method of extracting core genes based on gene names and counts is that we can not depending only on genes names because of three causes: first, the genome may have not totally named (This can be found in early versions of NCBI genomes), so we will have some lost sequences. Second, we may have two genes sharing the same name, while their sequences are different. Third, we need to annotate all the genomes.
\subsection{Extract Core Genes based on Gene Quality Control}
-The main idea from this method is to focus on genes quality to predict maximum core genes. By comparing only genes names or genes sequences from one annotation tool is not enough. The question here, does the predicted gene from NCBI is the same gene predicted by Dogma based on gene name and gene sequence?. If yes, then we can predict new quiality genomes based on quality control test with a specific threshold. Predicted Genomes comes from merging two annotation techniques. While if no, we can not depending neither on NCBI nor Dogma because of annotation error. Core genes can by predicted by using one of the previous methods.

+\subsubsection{Core genes based on NCBI and Dogma Annotation}
This method summarized in the following steps:\\
\begin{enumerate}
\item Retrieve the annotation of all genomes from NCBI and Dogma: in this step, we apply the annotation of all chloroplast genomes in the database using NCBI annotation and Dogma annotation tool.
-\item Predict quality genomes: the process is to pick a genome annotation from two techniques, extracting all common genes based on genes names, then applying Needle-man wunch algorithm to align the two sequences based on a specific threshold. If the alignment score pass the threshold, then this gene will removed from the competition and store it in quality genome by saving its name with the largest gene sequence with respect to start and end codons. All quality genomes will store in the form of GenVision file format.
-\item Extract Core genes: from the above two steps, we will have new genomes with quality genes, ofcourse, we have some genes lost here, because dogma produced tRNA and rRNA genes while NCBI did not generate them and vise-versa. Using first method to extract core genes will be sufficient because we already check their sequences.
+\item Convert NCBI genomes to GeneVision file format, then apply the second method of gene defragmentation methods for NCBI and dogma genomes.
+\item Predict quality genomes: the process is to pick a genome annotation from two sources, extracting all common genes based on genes names, then applying Needle-man wunch algorithm to align the two sequences based on a threshold equal to 65\%. If the alignment score pass the threshold, then this gene will removed from the competition and store it in quality genome by saving its name with the largest gene sequence with respect to start and end codons. All quality genomes will store in the form of GenVision file format.
+\item Extract Core genes: from the above two steps, we will have new genomes with quality genes, ofcourse, we have some genes lost here, because dogma produced tRNA and rRNA genes while NCBI did not generate rRNA genes and vise-versa. Build ICM to extract core genes will be sufficient because we already check genes sequences.
\item Display tree: An evolution tree then will be display based on the intersections of quality genomes.
