I'll give the same answer that I gave in another post....

There is significant evidence linking all birds (including hens) to dinosaurs known as theropods, but no DNA evidence exists. DNA is not a very stable molecule and it has never been recovered from any organism more than 30,000 years old.

Most recently, a comparison of the amino-acid sequence from the T. rex collagen to a database of existing sequences from modern species showed it shared a remarkable similarity to that of chickens. Amino acids are the molecular building blocks of proteins; there are 20 of them used by organisms to build proteins, and their precise order is determined by instructions found in DNA.This finding supports the idea that chickens and T. rex share an evolutionary link and bolsters previous research showing that birds evolved from dinosaurs and that birds are living dinosaurs.

Addition: Yes, Woodward made the claim that he discovered ancient DNA. However, he was criticized because his work was not reproducible in an independent laboratory, and there was suspected contamination of their samples. So basically, there is no clear dinosaur DNA evidence.

They have never found any DNA from a dinosaur, so there is no way to know for certain until and if they find any DNA, but scientists say that birds are the evolutionary result from dinosaurs, since the bone structure is similar.
There is also some evidence that dinosaurs had feathers.

Brigham Young University, Dr. Scott Woodward, for the first time has discovered recoverable DNA from suspect Dinosaur bones and that an 80 million year old dinosaur's bones found in a Utah coal mine, yielded for the first time, DNA molecules that produced nine readable sequences from a single strand of DNA for a particular gene

Woodward said "this DINOSAUR DNA is unique." He said, "it is nothing like any other modern animal species, and did not fit into any known animal groups."

Yes they probably do share a lot of DNA, but so do you and a blade of grass.
