Yeah an animus is totally implausible, even if there were some mechanism for inscribing every memory into your DNA then you wouldn't be able to recount anything that happened after conception of the succeeding child.
@bigsocrates: as for the junk DNA, there is a lot if misunderstanding about it, whilst some non coding DNA previously called junk has been found to do stuff like regulating other bits, people have studied it and determined (through looking at conservation of code) that an overwhelming majority ~90% of DNA is actually just vestigial junk like an appendix or tail bone, which is what you'd expect from how we evolved
