Anthropic says Claude found a new enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
The enzyme system sits in bacteriophage DNA beside a long array of repeats, and Anthropic does not yet know what it does. It is the first result from Anthropic's new biology lab.

Anthropic says Claude has found a previously undescribed enzyme system in the DNA of bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria. Next to the enzyme’s gene sits a long run of repeating DNA that resembles a CRISPR array. The company does not yet know what the system does.
Anthropic announced the result on Wednesday in a blog post and a preprint that has not been peer reviewed. It is the first result from a new molecular biology group and lab inside…
