  "summary": "Decoder DNA foundation models pretrain with dense next-token prediction and scale to long sequences, but their representations are directional. This is a poor fit for genomic tasks that need sequence context both upstream and downstream of a locus. Bidirectional masked-language-model encoders supply this context, but they pretrain more sparsely and scale less easily to long windows. We introduce…",
