Anthropic says Claude helped identify ART, whose DNA repeats echo patterns in CRISPR. Earlier studies had identified the reverse transcriptase, but Claude appeared to be first to recognize the broader system's non-coding DNA array and a protein of unknown function, the company说.
ART stands for array-associated reverse transcriptases. Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that copies RNA into DNA.
Anthropic described the finding as the first result from its biology research efforts. Days earlier, Reuters had reported that the company established a wet lab in the San Francisco Bay Area as it expanded into life sciences and drug-related research beyond computer-based work.
