Anthropic 用 Claude 发现类 CRISPR 新型酶系统
原标题：Science Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
AI 摘要
Anthropic 成立生命科学研究组与实验室，利用 Claude 探索 DNA 数据集、规模化生成假设并在实验室验证。早期成果中，约 950 个 Claude 智能体在 21 小时内消耗 2.1 亿 token 搜索 DNA 数据库，自主发现了一种与 DNA 重复序列相关的新型酶系统 ART（array-associated reverse transcriptases），其特征类似 CRISPR。CRISPR 先驱、MIT 与 Broad Institute 教授 Feng Zhang 评价称这是 AI 智能体参与生物发现的令人兴奋的案例，值得进一步研究。

Subscribe to Anthropic Science Features on AI-assisted discoveries, practical workflows, and field notes across the sciences. 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
