+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. As a consequence, the computation of the intersection scores is
+both time and memory consuming. However, since ICM is a symetric
+matrix we can reduce the computation overhead by considering only its
+triangular upper part. The time complexity for this process after
+enhancement is thus $O(\frac{n.(n-1)}{2})$. Algorithm ~\ref{Alg1:ICM}
