      The Future of Algae Biofuels Researchers at Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech have assembled the draft genome sequence of a marine algae, Nannochloropis gaditan, that may be capable of producing the lipid yields necessary for a viable fuel source. Algae is an ideal alternative, renewable fuel source because it can use various water sources ranging from wastewater to brackish water and can be grown in small, intensive plots on denuded land. Further analysis revealed that with g...
