Scientists begin to unlock biofuel hopes.

Scientists for the U.S. Agriculture and Energy Departments are teaming up in the Bay Area to divine the genetic recipe for switchgrass and other potential energy crops, for dramatic boosts in the production of biofuels. The Joint Genome Institute in Walnut Creek announced Tuesday that it will be performing a rough listing of genes in switchgrass - the 10-foot grasses that once towered over the American prairie and the San Joaquin Valley - as well as sequencing other organisms useful in producing energy.
