If you haven’t seen it yet, YouTube’s got a pretty impressive video on the need for biofuels, especially from plants, and how that en vogue word “genomes” plays a role in making this happen. Looks like the JGI also has some other interesting videos on their channel too, though a quick Google search reveals they’ve got a ton more videos on SciVee.
(Seemingly random trivia: If you’re a follower of NCBI ROFL like me, then it might be worth your while to check out a JGI video that features one of the UC Berkeley grad students that apparently created this sorta-like-Ig-Nobels-but-not collection of news. You can see this video on SciVee, the HD version on YouTube, and a slightly longer but easier to follow talk on SciVee again.)
