Almost every cell has nuclear DNA.

The exception is mature red blood cells (erythrocytes), which extrude their nucleus during development. Without a nucleus, they cannot live long; the average life of a red cell is 120 days.

In addition, all cells contain mitochondria, and these contain mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), with 37 genes.
