Moore's law has to do with feature size and if you do a calculation assuming Moore's law holds out for 100 years, you will perhaps determine the feature size to be smaller than a quark, which is rather improbable. What is relevant is function and capacity. For example, moving from base 2 logic to base 4 would double function and capacity while leaving feature size the same. BTW, isn't DNA base 4? If so, not an unreasonable idea I would say.
