Anthropic says Claude discovered a new enzyme system, but CRISPR researchers call it routine genome mining

Anthropic's AI model Claude has discovered a new enzyme system in DNA databases, conducting most of the analysis independently. These discoveries are part of AI efforts to accelerate genomic research, as Claude's model can analyze data faster and more efficiently than traditional methods. This finding could open new avenues in genetic research, but it has also sparked debate among researchers, with some considering this type of analysis routine in genomic mining.
