Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
- We’re introducing a new life sciences research group and laboratory at Anthropic.
- Our focus is on fundamental biology research using Claude: exploring datasets of DNA to identify uncharacterized protein families, generating hypotheses at scale, and testing them through experiments in the lab.
- This post introduces the team behind this work and shares early results in which Claude discovered a novel enzyme system with properties reminiscent of CRISPR, with only high-level direction from our scientists.
