Four of genome annotation centers (such as, \textit{NCBI\cite{Sayers01012011}, Dogma \cite{RDogma}, cpBase \cite{de2002comparative}, CpGAVAS \cite{liu2012cpgavas}, and CEGMA\cite{parra2007cegma}}) present various types of annotation tools (\emph{i.e.} cost-effective sequencing methods\cite{Bakke2009}) on different annotation levels. Generally, previous studies used one of three methods for gene finding in annotated genome using these centers: \textit{alignment-based, composition based, or combination of both\cite{parra2007cegma}}. The alignment-based method is used when we try to predict a coding gene (\emph{i.e.}. genes that produce proteins) by aligning DNA sequence of gene to the protein of cDNA sequence of homology\cite{parra2007cegma}. This approach also is used in GeneWise\cite{birney2004genewise}. Composition-based method (known as \textit{ab initio}) is based on a probabilistic model of gene structure to find genes according to the gene value probability (GeneID\cite{parra2000geneid}). In this section, we consider a new method of finding core genes from large amount of chloroplast genomes, as a solution of the problem resulting from the method stated in section two. This method is based on extracting gene features. A general overview of the system is illustrated in Figure \ref{Fig1}.\\ -\begin{figure}[H] +These last years the cost of sequencing genomes has been greatly +reduced, and thus more and more genomes are sequenced.

We will give a short discussion for each stage of the model in order to understand the whole core extraction process. This work starts with a gene Bank database; however, many international Banks for nucleotide sequence databases (such as, \textit{GenBank} \cite{Sayers01012011} in USA, \textit{EMBL-Bank} \cite{apweiler1985swiss} in Europe, and \textit{DDBJ} \cite{sugawara2008ddbj} in Japon) exist to store various genomes and DNA species. Different biological tools can analyse and annotate genomes by interacting with these databases to align and extract sequences to predict genes. The database in this model must be taken from any confident data source that stores annotated and/or unannotated chloroplast genomes. We consider GenBank-NCBI \cite{Sayers01012011} database to be our nucleotide sequences database. Annotation (as the second stage) is considered to be the first important task for extract gene features. Good annotation tool leads us to extract good gene feature. In this paper, two annotation techniques from \textit{NCBI, and Dogma} are used to extract \textit{genes features}. Extracting gene feature (as a third stage) can be anything like (genes names, gene sequences, protein sequence,...etc). Our methodology in this paper consider gene names, genes counts, and gene sequence for extracting core genes and producing chloroplast evolutionary tree. \\ -In last stage, features visualization represents methods to visualize genomes and/or gene evolution in chloroplast.

Indeed, to extract good gene feature, a good +annotation tool is obviously required. The extraction of gene feature, the next stage, can be anything like gene names, gene sequences, protein sequences, and so on. Our method considers gene names, gene counts, and gene sequence for extracting core genes and producing chloroplast evolutionary tree. The final stage allows to visualize genomes and/or gene evolution in chloroplast. Therefore we use representations like tables, phylogenetic trees, graphs, etc. to organize and show genomes relationships, and thus achieve the goal of representing gene +evolution. In addition, comparing these representations with ones issued from another annotation tool dedicated to large population of chloroplast genomes give us biological perspectives to the nature of chloroplasts evolution. Notice that a local database linked with each pipe stage is used to store all the informations produced during the process. -\subsection{Genomes Samples} -In this research, we retrieve genomes of Chloroplasts from NCBI. Ninety nine genome of them are considered to work with. These genomes lies in the eleven type of chloroplast families. The distribution of genomes is illustrated in detail in Table \ref{Tab2}. - \input{population_Table} -\subsection{Genome Annotation Techniques} -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 predicted genes (\emph{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. + +\subsection{Genome annotation techniques} + +To obtain relevant annotated genomes, two annotation techniques from NCBI and Dogma are used. For the first stage, genome annotation, many techniques have been developed to annotate chloroplast genomes. These techniques differ +from each others in the number and type of predicted genes (for example: \textit{Transfer RNA (tRNA)} and \textit{Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)} genes). Two annotation techniques from NCBI and Dogma are considered to analyze chloroplast genomes. \subsubsection{Genome annotation from NCBI} -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 a list of chloroplast genomes, annotated from NCBI. All genomes stored as \textit{.fasta} files which have a collection of protein coding genes\cite{parra2007cegma,RDogma} (gene that produce proteins) with its coding sequences. -As a preprocessing step to build the set of core genes, we need to analyse these genomes (using \textit{BioPython} package\cite{chapman2000biopython}). The process starts by converting each genome from fasta format to GenVision\cite{geneVision} format from DNASTAR. The outputs from this operation are lists of genes for each genome, their gene names and gene counts. In this stage, we accumulate some gene duplications for each treated genome. These gene name duplication can come from gene fragments, (e.g. gene fragments treated with NCBI), and from 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 in 2004. Dogma is an abbreviation of (\textit{Dual Organellar GenoMe Annotator}) for plant chloroplast and animal mitochondrial genomes. -It has its own database for translating the genome in all six reading frames and it queries the amino acid sequence database using Blast\cite{altschul1990basic}(\emph{i.e.} Blastx) with various parameters. Furthermore, identify protein coding genes in the input genome based on sequence similarity of genes in Dogma database. In addition, it can produce the \textit{Transfer RNAs (tRNA)}, and the \textit{Ribosomal RNAs (rRNA)} and verifies their start and end positions rather than NCBI annotation tool. There is no gene duplication with dogma after solving gene fragmentation. \\ -Genome annotation with dogma can be the key difference of extracting core genes. The step of annotation is divided into two tasks: first, It starts to annotate complete chloroplast genomes (\emph{i.e.} \textit{Unannotate genome from NCBI} by using Dogma web tool. This process is done manually. The output from dogma is considered to be a collection of coding genes files for each genome in the form of GeneVision file format. -The second task is to solve gene fragments. Two methods are used to solve gene duplication. 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, a defragment process used to avoid gene duplication. \\ -In each iteration, this process starts by taking one gene from gene list, searches for gene duplication, if exists, it looks on the orientation of the fragment sequence: if it is positive, then it appends fragment sequence to a gene files. Otherwise, the process applies reverse complement operations on gene sequences and appends it to gene files. An additional process is then applied to check start and stop codons in case of missing. All genomes after this stage are fully annotated, their genes are de-fragmented, and counts are identified.\\ +The objective is to generate sets of genes from each genome so that +genes are organized without any duplication. The input is a list of +chloroplast genomes annotated from NCBI. More precisely, all genomes +are stored as \textit{.fasta} files which consists in a collection of +protein coding genes\cite{parra2007cegma,RDogma} (gene that produce +proteins) organized in coding sequences. To be able build the set of +core genes, we need to preprocess these genomes +using \textit{BioPython} package \cite{chapman2000biopython}. This +step starts by converting each genome from FASTA file format to +GenVision \cite{geneVision} format from DNASTAR. Each genome is thus +converted in a list of genes, with gene names and gene counts. Gene +name duplications can be accumulated during the treatment of a genome. +These duplications come from gene fragments (\emph{e.g.} gene +fragments treated with NCBI) and from chloroplast DNA sequences. To +ensure that all the duplications are removed, each list of gene is +translated into a set of genes. Note that NCBI genome annotation +produces genes except \textit{Ribosomal (rRNA)} genes. -\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{Genome annotation from Dogma} -\subsubsection{Pre-Processing} -We apply two pre-processing methods to organize and prepare genomes data: the first method based on gene name and count, and the second one is based on sequence quality control test.\\ -In the first method, we extract a list of genes from each chloroplast genome. Then we store this list of genes in the database under genome name. Genes counts can be extracted by a specific length command. \textit{Intersection Core Matrix} then applied to extract the core genes. The problem with this method is how can we ensure that the gene which is predicted in core genes is the same gene in leaf genomes? The answer of this question is as follows: 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 states: we can predict the best annotated genome by merging the annotated genomes from NCBI and dogma if we follow 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 a threshold. If the alignment score passes the threshold, then the gene will be in the predicted genome. Otherwise, the gene is ignored. After predicting all genomes, \textit{Intersection Core Matrix} is applied on these new genomes to extract core genes, as shown in Algorithm \ref{Alg3:thirdM}. +Dogma stands for \textit{Dual Organellar GenoMe Annotator}. It is an +annotation tool developed at University of Texas in 2004 for plant +chloroplast and animal mitochondrial genomes. This tool has its own +database for translating a genome in all six reading frames and +queries the amino acid sequence database using +BLAST \cite{altschul1990basic} (\emph{i.e.} Blastx) with various +parameters. Protein coding genes are identified in an input genome +using sequence similarity of genes in Dogma database. In addition in +comparison with NCBI annotation tool, Dogma can produce +both \textit{Transfer RNAs (tRNA)} and \textit{Ribosomal RNAs (rRNA)}, +verify their start and end positions. further more, there is no gene duplication with gene annotations from Dogma after applying gene de-fragmentation process. In fact, genome annotation with Dogma can be the key difference when extracting core genes. + +The Dogma annotation process is divided into two tasks. First, we +manually annotate chloroplast genomes using Dogma web tool. The output +of this step is supposed to be a collection of coding genes files for +each genome, organized in GeneVision file. The second task is to solve +the gene duplication problem and therefore we have used two +methods. The first method, based on gene name, translates each genome +into a set of genes without duplicates. The second method avoid gene +duplication through a defragment process. In each iteration, this +process starts by taking a gene from gene list, searches for gene +duplication, if a duplication is found, it looks on the orientation of +the fragment sequence. If it is positive it appends directly the +sequence to gene files. Otherwise reverse complement operations are +applied on the sequence, which is then also append to gene files. +Finally, a check for missing start and stop codons is performed. At +the end of the annotation process, all the genomes are fully +annotated, their genes are defragmented, and gene counts are +available. + +\subsection{Core genes extraction} + +The goal of this stage is to extract maximum core genes from sets of +genes. To find core genes, the following methodology is applied. + +\subsubsection{Preprocessing} + +In order to extract core genomes in a suitable manner, the genomic +data are preprocessed with two methods: on the one hand a method based +on gene name and count, and on the other hand a method based on a +sequence quality control test. + +In the first method, we extract a list of genes from each chloroplast +genome. Then we store this list of genes in the database under genome +nam and genes counts can be extracted by a specific length command. +The \textit{Intersection Core Matrix}, described in next subsection, +is then computed to extract the core genes. The problem with this +method can be stated as follows: how can we ensure that the gene which +is predicted in core genes is the same gene in leaf genomes? The +answer to this problem is that if the sequences of any gene in a +genome annotated from Dogma and NCBI are similar with respect to a +given threshold, the method is operational when the sequences are not similar. The problem of attribution of a sequence to a gene in the core genome come to light. + +The second method is based on the underlying idea that it is possible to predict the the best annotated genome by merging the annotated genomes from NCBI +and Dogma according to a quality test on genes names and sequences. To +obtain all quality genes of each genome, we consider the following +hypothesis: any gene will appear in the predicted genome if and only +if the annotated genes in NCBI and Dogma pass a specific threshold +of \textit{quality control test}. In fact, the Needle-man Wunch +algorithm is applied to compare both sequences with respect to a +threshold. If the alignment score is above the threshold, then the +gene will be retained in the predicted genome, otherwise the gene is +ignored. Once the prediction of all genomes is done, +the \textit{Intersection Core Matrix} is computed on these new genomes +to extract core genes, as explained in Algorithm \ref{Alg3:thirdM}. \begin{algorithm}[H] -\caption{Extract new genome based on Gene Quality test} +\caption{Extract new genome based on gene quality test} \label{Alg3:thirdM} \begin{algorithmic} \REQUIRE $Gname \leftarrow \text{Genome Name}, Threshold \leftarrow 65$ @@ -58,131 +177,212 @@ The second pre-processing method states: we can predict the best annotated genom \end{algorithmic} \end{algorithm} -\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}.

To do so, the system builds an \textit{Intersection Core Matrix (ICM)}. ICM is a two dimensional symmetric matrix where each row and each column represents one genome. Each position in ICM stores the \textit{Intersection Scores(IS)}. IS 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 $n$ -is the number of genomes in local database, then lets consider:\\ - +To extract core genes, we iteratively collect the maximum number of +common genes between genomes and therefore during this stage +an \textit{Intersection Core Matrix} (ICM) is built.

Hence, an element of the matrix stores +the \textit{Intersection Score} (IS): the cardinality of the core +genes set obtained by intersecting one genome with another +one. Maximum cardinality results in selecting the two genomes having +the maximum score. Mathematically speaking, if we have $n$ genomes in +local database, the ICM is an $n \times n$ matrix whose elements +satisfy: \begin{equation} -Score=\max_{i0$.} -\end{cases}$$ - -if $\textit{Score}=0$ then we have \textit{disjoint relation} \emph{i.e.}, no common genes between two genomes. In this case the system ignores the genome that annul the core gene size. Otherwise, The system removes these two genomes from ICM and add new core genome with a \textit{coreID} of them to ICM for the calculation in next iteration. This process reduces the size of ICM and repeats until all genomes are treated \emph{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 $O(\frac{n.(n-1)}{2})$. 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. +\noindent where $1 \leq i \leq n$, $1 \leq j \leq n$, and $g_i, g_j$ are +genomes. The generation of a new core gene depends obviously on the +value of the intersection scores $score_{ij}$. More precisely, the +idea is to consider a pair of genomes such that their score is the +largest element in ICM. These two genomes are then removed from matrix +and the resulting new core genome is added for the next iteration. +The ICM is then updated to take into account the new core gene: new IS +values are computed for it. This process is repeated until no new core +gene can be obtained. + +We can observe that the ICM is very large due to the amount of +data.

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 in the tree represents one chloroplast genome or one predicted core which named under the title of \textit{(Genes count:Family name\_Scientific names\_Accession number)}, Edges represent the number of lost genes from each leaf genome or from an intermediate core genes. The number of lost genes here can represent an important factor for evolution: it represents how much is the lost of genes from the species belongs to same or different families. By the principle of classification, a small number of gene lost among species indicates 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: - +\subsection{Features visualization} + +The goal is to visualize results by building an evolutionary tree.

All the programs can be downloaded at \url{http://......} . +genes from large amount of chloroplast genomes. + +\begin{center} +\begin{table}[H] +\caption{Type of annotation, execution time, and core genes.}\label{Etime} +{\scriptsize +\begin{tabular}{p{2cm}p{0.5cm}p{0.25cm}p{0.5cm}p{0.25cm}p{0.5cm}p{0.25cm}p{0.5cm}p{0.25cm}p{0.5cm}p{0.2cm}} +\hline\hline + Method & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Annotation} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Features} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Exec. time (min.)} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Core genes} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Bad genomes} \\ +~ & N & D & Name & Seq & N & D & N & D & N & D \\ +\hline +Gene prediction & $\surd$ & - & - & $\surd$ & 1.7 & - & ? & - & 0 & -\\[0.5ex] +Gene Features & $\surd$ & $\surd$ & $\surd$ & - & 4.98 & 1.52 & 28 & 10 & 1 & 0\\[0.5ex] +Gene Quality & $\surd$ & $\surd$ & $\surd$ & $\surd$ & \multicolumn{2}{c}{$\simeq$3 days + 1.29} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{4} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{1}\\[1ex] +\hline +\end{tabular} +} +\end{table} +\end{center} + +\vspace{-1cm} + +Table~\ref{Etime} presents for each method the annotation type, +execution time, and the number of core genes. We use the following +notations: \textbf{N} denotes NCBI, while \textbf{D} means DOGMA, +and \textbf{Seq} is for sequence. The first two {\it Annotation} columns +represent the algorithm used to annotate chloroplast genomes. The next two ones {\it +Features} columns mean the kind of gene feature used to extract core +genes: gene name, gene sequence, or both of them. It can be seen that +almost all methods need low {\it Execution time} expended in minutes to extract core genes +from the large set of chloroplast genomes. Only the gene quality method requires +several days of computation (about 3-4 days) for sequence comparisons. However, +once the quality genomes are well constructed, it only takes 1.29~minutes to +extract core gene. Thanks to this low execution times that gave us a privilege to use these +methods to extract core genes on a personal computer rather than main +frames or parallel computers. The lowest execution time: 1.52~minutes, +is obtained with the second method using Dogma annotations. The number +of {\it Core genes} represents the amount of genes in the last core +genome. The main goal is to find the maximum core genes that simulate +biological background of chloroplasts. With NCBI we have 28 genes for +96 genomes, instead of 10 genes for 97 genomes with +Dogma. Unfortunately, the biological distribution of genomes with NCBI +in core tree do not reflect good biological perspective, whereas with +DOGMA the distribution of genomes is biologically relevant. Some a few genomes maybe destroying core genes due to +low number of gene intersection. More precisely, \textit{NC\_012568.1 Micromonas pusilla} is the only genome who destroyes the core genome with NCBI +annotations for both gene features and gene quality methods. + +The second important factor is the amount of memory nessecary in each +methodology. Table \ref{mem} shows the memory usage of each +method. In this table, the values are presented in megabyte +unit and \textit{gV} means genevision~file~format. We can notice that +the level of memory which is used is relatively low for all methods +and is available on any personal computer. The different values also +show that the gene features method based on Dogma annotations has the +more reasonable memory usage, except when extracting core +sequences. The third method gives the lowest values if we already have +the quality genomes, otherwise it will consume far more +memory. Moreover, the amount of memory, which is used by the third method also +depends on the size of each genome. + + +\begin{table}[H] +\centering +\caption{Memory usages in (MB) for each methodology}\label{mem} +\tabcolsep=0.11cm +{\scriptsize +\begin{tabular}{p{2.5cm}@{\hskip 0.1mm}p{1.5cm}@{\hskip 0.1mm}p{1cm}@{\hskip 0.1mm}p{1cm}@{\hskip 0.1mm}p{1cm}@{\hskip 0.1mm}p{1cm}@{\hskip 0.1mm}p{1cm}@{\hskip 0.1mm}p{1cm}} +\hline\hline +Method& & Load Gen. & Conv. gV & Read gV & ICM & Core tree & Core Seq. \\ +\hline +Gene prediction & NCBI & 108 & - & - & - & - & -\\ +\multirow{2}{*}{Gene Features} & NCBI & 15.4 & 18.9 & 17.5 & 18 & 18 & 28.1\\ + & DOGMA& 15.3 & 15.3 & 16.8 & 17.8 & 17.9 & 31.2\\ +Gene Quality & ~ & 15.3 & $\le$3G & 16.1 & 17 & 17.1 & 24.4\\ +\hline +\end{tabular} +} +\end{table} + -\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 according to pre-processing method used:\\ -\begin{enumerate} -\item We downloads already annotated chloroplast genomes in the form of fasta coding genes (\emph{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} - -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. - -\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 We apply the genome annotation manually using Dogma annotation tool. -\item Analysing genomes to store lists of code genes names (\textit{i.e. 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 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 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 quality 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 - -\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 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. -\end{enumerate}
