Yes, it is possible for them to have DNA. But in most cases the part that would have held the DNA will have disintegrated. If hair or skin and other organs are preserved by cold or some other process it is possible to obtain DNA. We have gained knowledge about Dinosaurs and Mammoths through this sort of DNA.
