Genetic engineering, conceptual illustration. Robot hand editing a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule to alter and rearrange an organism's genetic material. DNA is composed of two strands twisted into a double helix. Each strand consists of an outer sugar-phosphate backbone with nucleotide bases attached. The sequence of these bases forms the genetic code, determining each cell's structure, function and behaviour. Inserting new DNA into a section of original DNA will alter the instructions from this region.

Jupiter from Europa. Computer artwork of a view towards Jupiter and its moons, across the surface of Europa as it might have looked four billion years ago. Europa is the fourth largest of the moons that orbit Jupiter. It is believed to be composed of silicate rocks with a layer of water ice covering the entire surface. It may contain more water than all of Earth's oceans combined but its distance from its sun meant that there wasn't enough heat to prevent it from freezing over.
