The only example of genetic memory in the first book is a hint, where Jessica has a sudden memory out of nowhere (the adab, the demanding memory) of how to participate in the Fremen ritual (before she became a Reverend Mother). The first Dune only has the memories that are passed on from person to person through deliberate sharing. See, there's two kinds of other memory: "genetic" memories inherited from ancestors, and memories purposefully and directly shared from person to person. This book does not seem to have any "genetic memories" however, as later books do. So "other memories" are present here in the first book, explicitly and specifically when Jessica becomes a Reverend Mother, she receives all the other memories passed on for millennia from the old Reverend Mother.
