+By  the  principle  of phylogenetic classification, a mutation in the DNA shared by two to several taxa has a higher probability to be inherited from common ancestor than to have evolved independently. In such a process, shared changes in the genomes allow to build relationships between species. In the case of chloroplasts, an important category of changes in the genome is the loss of functional genes, when inoperant or when transferred to the nucleus. Thereby, we hypothesize that small number of gene losses  among species indicates
+that these species are close to  each other and belong to same lineage,
+while a  large loss  means that we  have an  evolutionary relationship
+between species  from much more distant lineages. Phylogenetic relationships are mainly built by comparison of sets of coding and non-coding sequences. Phylogenies of photosynthetic plants are important to assess the origin of chloroplasts (REF) and the modalities of gene loss among lineages. These phylogenies are usually done using less than ten chloroplastic genes (REF), and some of them may not be conserved by evolution process for every taxa. As phylogenetic relationships inferred from data matrices complete for each species included and with the same evolution history are better assumptions, we selected core genomes for a new investigation of photosynthetic plants phylogeny. To depict the links between species clearly, we here intend to built a phylogenetic tree showing the relationships based on the distances among gene sequences of a core genome. The circumscription of the core chloroplast genomes for a given set of photosynthetic organisms needs bioinformatic tools for sequence annotation and comparison that we describe here.

+Other possible scientific questions to consider for introduction improvement:
+Which bioinformatic tools are necessary for genes comparison in selected complete chloroplast genomes? Which bioinformatic tools are necessary to build a phylogeny of numerous genes and species, etc?
