Theoretical calculation of temperature dependence of transport properties at finite bias voltage and/or at finite temperature gradient requires careful description of low energy excitations. Incorporation of phonon transport and its coupling to electron transport by no means should play a crucial role to describe the low energy physics. One of the authors succeeded to describe theoretically the temperature cross over behavior of the electric conductance found in the experiment of a long oligothiophene single molecular wires. The diagrammatic non-equilibrium transport theory is useful to describe the problem qualitatively. While the necessity of the non-perturbative approach to the problem is clear, it would be interesting to know how far we could go within the perturbative framework given that any reliable non-perturbative approach for the problem is not available at present. Here, we apply the theory to discuss the base alignment dependence of the Seebeck coefficient of DNA in the hopping temperature region. We will make comparative discussions on our theoretical results with our experimental ones.
