Anthropic's Claude AI Identifies Novel Gene-Editing Enzyme System in Bacteriophage DNA
Sign in✓ Signed in
Anthropic announced on September 23 that its Claude model autonomously discovered a previously unknown enzyme system in bacteriophage DNA that structurally resembles the gene-editing machinery behind CRISPR, marking a breakthrough in AI-assisted biological discovery. The system, called array-associated reverse transcriptases (ART), was identified after 21 hours of autonomous searching by approximately 950 Claude agents sifting through a database of roughly 1.9 billion protein clusters.
