DNA, conceptual computer artwork. Deoxyribonucleic acid is the molecule that controls the growth, development and functioning of all living things

Spiral galaxy M101, Hubble Space Telescope image. M101 is also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy. It lies around 25 million light years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major

Man and DNA. Computer artwork of a DNA molecule wrapped around a male figure. A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of two strands of sugar phosphates forming a double helix (spiral)

DNA molecule (down right), computer artwork. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of two strands of sugar phosphates forming a double helix (spiral)

DNA in bubble. Conceptual computer artwork of a DNA double helix within a bubble in water. This image could represent the fragility of the DNA molecule or the need for protection of an individuals

DNA in space. Computer artwork of a DNA double helix in space above Earth. This may represent the possible uniqueness of Earth as a cradle of life in the universe

Electric light bulbs with a screw fitting, negative image

DNA helix on circuit board. Computer artwork representing the fusion of computers and humans to form cybernetic beings, or the use of computers in genetic engineering to design improved humans

Woman and DNA. Computer artwork of a DNA molecule wrapped around a female figure. A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of two strands of sugar phosphates forming a double helix (spiral)

DNA and a genetic sequence
DNA model and a genetic sequence. Printout of the genetic code of a single strand of DNA (deoxyribo- nucleic acid). Also seen is a model of DNA

Z-DNA, molecular model
Z-DNA. Molecular model of a strand of Z-DNA, the rare, left-handed form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is a helical molecule (here spiralling across the image)

Galaxy NGC 2842, Chandra X-ray image. This active spiral galaxy is in the constellation Ursa Major, and is about 150 million light years distant
