The Omnitrix canonically does not need DNA to create a functional transformation. Sources:

 * Clockwork
 * Lodestar
 * Gravattack
 * Shock Rock
 * Overflow
 * Upgrade
 * Buzzshock
 * Echo Echo
 * Alien X
 * Bloxx

All of the above aliens are either made of energy, metal, or otherwise inorganic substances. Some of them may have some form of genetic material, which the series uses DNA as a blanket term for, but others seem to lack it entirely. Clockwork, for example, is entirely made of brass cogs. He is completely mechanical is a way that simply cannot occur in nature. For an explanation of that, watch the Vsauce video about why no animals have wheels.
