Anthropic's Claude finds Crispr-like enzyme system
anthropic's claude ai model discovered an enzyme system with crispr-like properties, sparking debate among scientists about its significance and potential use as a gene-editing tool.
anthropic's large language model claude discovered an enzyme system with properties reminiscent of crispr, a nobel prize-winning gene-editing tool. about 950 claude agents running simultaneously found the genetic sequences in 21.5 hours. the system, called art, is found in jumbo phages, large viruses that infect bacteria. scientists are debating its significance, with some questioning whether it's a new crispr system or a retron, a bacterial immune system with some utility in gene editing.
