The simple answer is "Depends". If heated high enough, long enough or subjected to harsh chemicals then some will be. But it would be pretty much inedible after doing that.
Cooking food won't destroy DNA. The DNA is not broken down until the acids and enzymes in your digestive tract get to work on it.
And this is why genetically modified food is not dangerous. All the spooky, scary, 'unnatural' DNA gets broken down in digestion.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
