Description:	Researchers at the University of California-Davis, with funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), today released the initial draft genome sequence of the loblolly pine, an important conifer species that is used as a feedstock for biofuels and can aid in climate change mitigation. The announcement was made at the 2013 Plant and Animal Genome Conference in San Diego, California.
