Description of the gene essentiality for the metabolic niche on Phaedactylum tricornutum's genome. (a) For each 33 diatom's chromosome, we emphasise genes that encode for a metabolic reaction catalyser. For each gene, we report the correlation sum of its associated reaction at its genomic position. In addition, (b) describes statistics for each chromosome (i.e. specific colour line), such as the total number of genes, the sum of all correlation sums, the proportion of genes from the chromosome involved in the metabolic network, the highest correlation sum found in the chromosome and mean values considering solely genes involved in the metabolic network or all genes
