Choose the model by the evidence

DOGMA, DNABERT-2, Hermon DNA, and Med-BERT solve different problems. This guide makes their data, architecture, claim boundary, and promotion gate explicit before training begins.

Native DOGMACycle 159

Rejected; test PPL 1.1303; frozen language probes failed.

Hermon DNA encoderDNABERT-2 117M

2,400 synthetic seed examples; 0 real anchors; not foundation-eligible.

Hermon DNA languageServing baseline retained

Candidate rejected; previous quality-gated adapter retained.

One system, separate ledgers

Sequence evidence does not flow upward by association

A good explanation cannot rescue a weak encoder, and a good encoder score cannot certify generated prose. Each arrow below crosses a typed, versioned interface.

Separately governed EHR prediction research

DNA sequence encoding, motifs, promoters, or reverse complements

DOGMA training

Keep the architecture native

PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/audit_dogma_model_roles.py
python3 scripts/run_scheduled_cycle.py

Real genomes improve the evidence base. DNABERT-2 may benchmark or teach a declared ablation, but it never becomes the canonical architecture base.

DOGMA developer guide

Hermon DNA training

Encode first, explain second

python3 scripts/audit_dna_model_roles.py
python3 scripts/train_dna_bert_classifier.py

DNABERT-2 is the initial nucleotide encoder. The instruction model consumes its structured output and retrieved evidence under a separate evaluation contract.
