Alien DNA

Physicists claim there is evidence alien life forms will have at least the same fundamental building blocks as living things here on Earth, and perhaps the same genetic code.

Meanwhile ... on Mars.
Some 3-4 billion years ago, impacts threw pieces of Earth and Mars into space. Life may have hitched a ride on this rocky debris, some of which landed on neighbouring planets as meteorites (Image: NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage Team/STScI/AURA/J Bell/Cornell/M Wolff/Space Science Institute)

An instrument that amplifies and sequences DNA could launch to Mars in the next decade – it would test whether Earth and Mars ever exchanged life.

DNA analysis may be done on Mars for first time
