Scientists are working to decipher the DNA code of conifers, like this Norway spruce at Rockefeller Center in New York. In late 2012, scientific teams in the United States and Canada have released preliminary, patchy descriptions of conifer genomes. And a Swedish team plans to follow suit soon in its quest for the Norway spruce. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)

This undated image made available by the NIH's National Cancer Institute shows the 46 human chromosomes in blue, with telomeres appearing as white points on the ends. Some previous studies have associated having longer telomeres with better health and longer lives. Telomeres haven't been proven to cause those benefits in the general population, but a number of researchers think they may hold secrets for things like longevity and cancer.
