Claude reportedly finds previously unknown enzyme system in bacteriophage DNA; function unconfirmed
A post relaying Anthropic's claim says 950 Claude agents spent 21 hours on 200,000-plus sequences, finding a system with a repeating structure resembling CRISPR.
TLDR
Posts relaying Anthropic's claim describe Claude finding a previously unknown enzyme system in bacteriophage DNA using 950 agents over 21 hours. One puts the search at 200,000-plus sequences and describes a repeating structure resembling CRISPR. That post says the system's function remains unconfirmed, though similar systems can cut, copy and paste DNA. Another says outside scientists want to see lab work.
