When you say DNA, assume you mean a 3D rotating double-helix type thing? If so then I don't have one of those. What I do have is a matrix like screen saver which looks a bit 3D like, and it has the option of how to display the matrix, and one of the options is "gentic sequence" so you'll se strings of GTCATGACC etc... If you want a copy, shout.

Very nice, only downside is the Preference Pane isn't compatible with Intel macs. The application version works perfectly though.
