Claude Discovers Crispr-Like Enzyme in Anthropic Lab

Anthropic says its AI Claude has autonomously discovered a new enzyme system comparable to the machinery behind Crispr, the powerful gene-editing tool. It marks the first result from Anthropic's newly launched wet lab. The finding serves as an early test of Claude's scientific capabilities as Anthropic prepares to go public. The company says Claude independently identified the enzyme system, signaling a potential new role for AI in biological research.
