Correction: DNA was NOT found on meteorites. Read the first para.

The simple building blocks of nucleic acids were found on meteorites.

Sorry, this does not contradict any previous theory. Just shows that prebiotic chemistry may have happened elsewhere, which is widely believed anyway.

Best not to get your science news from a business publication.

see the first few pages of this article for a review of prebiotic synthesis of nucleobases: http://physwww.mcmaster.ca/~higgsp/3D03/Or...
