Anthropic says its biology lab has already found something big

Anthropic's wet lab used its own AI models to run physical experiments and found a new enzyme system. The system is hidden in bacteriophage DNA and Anthropic says it has CRISPR-like properties. But Claude isn't running loose in the lab—humans are still in the loop. The post doesn't disclose the enzyme's specific function, validation data, or publication plans.

Why it matters: Anthropic's first disclosed wet-lab output — a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like properties — is a substantive advance. But the post lacks validation data, doesn't mention a paper, and doesn't specify what the enzyme actually does, so the score stays below 85.
