Anthropic Says Claude Spotted a Previously Unknown Enzyme System
Anthropic says Claude found new enzyme system ART that may point to a new gene-editing mechanism
Anthropic touts AI-led biology discovery - Anthropic's AI model Claude discovered a new enzyme system called ART by analysing DNA sequences, potentially revealing a new gene-editing mechanism similar to CRISPR. - The AI autonomously analysed over 200,000 genes in 21 hours, accelerating research that usually takes weeks or months. - The discovery, still preliminary and unreviewed, could lead to advances in gene therap
