I don't see why not. The user would just have to want to do it.
Look at how Kyle holds an angel... the only people that really know that wavelength are kyle and the angels themselves.
and how he is able to hold down Imperiex energy after Supes "kills" him...remember..this is the energy that can destroy the multiverse.

Yea..just noticed... In my old quasar issues..I never saw the guy do anything like analyze dna. Not even when he fought against the 3 revived former protectors of the universe.
I could be wrong...but I dont think the bands have that capability. They seem like pure energy weapons.
this might help show some of the differences:
<<What Can The Quantum-Bands Do Besides Make Constructs?
They enable him to quantum jump or create small apertures between the fabric of space/time in the actual world of matter and energy and the potential world of matter and energy that is the quantum zone. He can then travel through this trackless featureless zone and emerge at a different point in our physical space. His quantum-bands enable him to keep his bearings while in the zone and thus emerge where he wants to. He can cross countless light years in a single jump, if he so desires. Important note, however, he cannot quantum-jump in an atmosphere without ripping a huge hole in its ozone layer. Thus using it for teleportation on Earth is out of the question.
Quasar could also use the quantum-bands to bolster his metabolism, though he has yet to realize this is a property of the bands. (His predecessor--Marvel Boy--did, though, and used them to give him superhuman strength and prowess.) >>
<<Everything There Is To Know About Quasar's Quantum-Bands

What Are Quasar's Specific Vulnerabilities?
Quasar is vulnerable to all energy outside the electromagnetic spectrum:
Magic. He cannot absorb it, he cannot resist it. Magic can bind him, magicians can even take over his mind. A bolt of magic will penetrate his force field. However, an enchanted physical object will only be as strong as the object itself would otherwise be: while his forcefield could resist an adamantium blade, the Black Knight's magical ebony blade would be able to slice through Quasar's best quantum shield like tissue. Fortunately, magicians have no control over the energies he manipulates so he should be able to slam an energy construct through a mystical shield of Seraphim, for instance.
Extradimensional energy. Q is susceptible to all persons using Darkforce (Shroud, Darkstar, Black Mamba, Quagmire). His q-bands cannot create constructs to hold or resist the dark stuff. The Darkforce penetrates his energy like it wasn't even there.
Kinetic energy, the energy of motion. No defense against someone manipulating it psionically (which is why Maelstrom overwhelmed him so easily). He can however resist the effects of something imbued with kinetic energy--a thrown knife has kinetic energy, but if Q sees it coming he can put up a shield to stop the knife despite its kinetic force.
Psionic energy. A psionic blast will cut through his quantum constructs like papier mache'. Fortunately, most psionic manipulators are susceptible to the energies he employs, so they're even.
Matter manipulation. Foes who manipulate matter, psionically or otherwise, he cannot muck with. He deals with energy not matter. The Molecule Man, Sersi, Phoenix, Her, and the Silver Surfer, among others, affect matter in a way he cannot. Her, Sersi, and the Surfer use cosmic energy to do so, however, and he could stop the cosmic energy though not undo anything wrought to matter by that cosmic energy. >>
i'd say the gl ring is the the more powerful overall. it doesn't have as many vulnerabilities or limits as the q-bads, can channel the same amount of power/energy AND works outside the multiverse where the q-bands won't.
Probably could scan DNA..he'd just have to manipulate the correct electromagnetic wavelength to do so..wouldn't be as easy as Kyle..but I'm sure he could do something similar to this. I've seen him manipulate individual electromagnetic wavelengths to make them intangible..and a heck of a lot of other things. Eon opened up Quasar's mind to have full use of the Q-bands...so I'm sure we haven't seen everything he can do yet.
As far as the mind control thing goes, the Q-bands provide protection against various types of psoinic attacks that don't involve magic. Even when manipulated by magical enemies..the bands have still shown an ability to provide some resistance to mental assaults. For example..their was a time when Quasar was being manipulated by the enchantress, however, the bands discharged some sort of energy into his brain taking him out of the enchantress's thrall.

GL ring is more versatile, Q Band is more powerful
Says who? The most poweful blast ive seen Quasar do was only 100 megatons.
GL has destroyed a planet. Taken supernavas, contained them. Mind controled the planet, matter manipulation etc.
What makes you think the Q-band is more powerful?
