Claude agents reportedly flagged a clue to a previously unknown system in bacteria-infecting viruses
A user says roughly 950 Claude agents searched DNA for 21 hours. One spotted repeating DNA beside an enzyme gene; human analysis and lab experiments then identified a system called ART.
TLDR
A user says roughly 950 Claude agents searched DNA for unusual reverse transcriptases, enzymes that copy RNA into DNA. After one agent spotted repeating DNA beside an enzyme gene, scientists pursued the clue in the lab and identified a previously unknown system called ART in viruses that infect bacteria. Its function is still being studied.
