Obviously not based on DNA/RNA. I think it is pretty lacking in imagination to believe that DNA/RNA in liquid water is the only possible configuration of atoms that could make a self-replicating and evolving organism.
Imagination is great for writing science fiction but it doesn't change the laws of physics that make the sort of organization needed for life impossible. You write "configuration of atoms" but there's no such thing within stars.
