[quote:Anonymous Coward 76658155:MV80MTM3Mzc5Xzc1MTQyMzg1XzJFRDNGNDc=] A 2011 breakthrough that was published in Science is attracting increased attention. 'This paper described how passing a current through a monolayer of DNA double helices would favor one type of spin.' The DNA molecules are chiral, which means they can exist in two forms which are each other's mirror image -- like a left and right hand. The phenomenon was dubbed Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS), and over the last few years, several experiments were published which allegedly showed this CISS effect, even in electronic devices. University of Groningen Ph.D. student Xu Yang set out to create a generic model which could describe how spins would pass through different circuits under a linear regime (i.e. the regime that electronic devices operate in). 'These models were based on universal rules, independent of the type of molecule'. By publishing his model now, Yang hopes that more scientists will start building the circuits he has proposed, and will finally be able to prove the existence of CISS in electronic devices. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190205102535.htm [/quote]

This area of research started as a new way to understand the vibrational modes within and between the nucleic acids of DNA.
Models of these vibrational modes started out as classical, binary models of the Van der Waals and Dipole-Dipole interactions. But, the emergence of quantum mechanical models in chemistry led some scientists to ponder on the possibility that these classical biological models could be pinned to a series of entanglements, which would explain the two biggest flaws of the classical systems: time and distance.
The first paper that really grabbed my attention on the idea of quantum entanglement in DNA was a paper published by Elisabeth Rieper from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2010. Titled “Quantum entanglement between the electron clouds of nucleic acids in DNA”. The team came to this conclusion after setting up quantum harmonic oscillators to act as the distribution mechanism for electrons in a dipole-dipole interaction between each of the nucleic acids. When they set this up, they saw that the time taken for the oscillators to operate and the way in which they operated was the same as what was observed naturally within DNA.
Thus, based on the energy within each nucleic acid, DNA could be a set of quantum entanglements that occur at room temperature.
