DNA is just a "program", and a living cell is basically an advanced programmable nanorobot. When cells divide or reproduce, the whole nanorobot is cloned with some modifications. The DNA tells how to modify the cloned nanorobot, and it is also possible to reprogram any cell back to the original state. Nobody knows how to make a cell i.e the nanorobot from stratch. The information is not in the DNA, like a computer program doesn't contain the instructions to build a computer.
