Anthropic says Claude discovered a new enzyme system, but CRISPR researchers call it routine genome mining

资讯摘要

Anthropic says Claude discovered a new enzyme system, but CRISPR researchers call it routine genome mining Anthropic's AI model Claude found a previously unknown enzyme system in DNA databases, doing most of the analysis on its own. Humans set the research question and ran the lab experiments. The system resembles the gene-editing tool CRISPR. Anthropic calls it one of the first discoveries from its Bay Area biology lab, which opened in spring 2026. About 950 AI agents spent 21 hours combing through more than 200,000 reverse transcriptases, enzymes that convert RNA into DNA.
