Reverse complement of a sequence

[ariannap88]

I would need your help for some clarification regarding the embedding computation of DNABert.

Specifically, in the phase of computing the embeddings, DNABert analyzes the sequence in both directions. I was wondering if, in analyzing the sequence from right to left, reverse complement of the sequence is taken into account.

If not, is the reverse complement still taken into account in any way during the creation of the embeddings?

Thanks for your reply.
