    Claude Just Found a Strange DNA System That Scientists Had Overlooked

    Anthropic says its Claude AI has identified a previously uncharacterized biological system hidden inside DNA, after searching hundreds of thousands of reverse transcriptases and spotting an unusual pattern that researchers had not recognized before. The system, which Anthropic calls array-associated reverse transcriptases, or ART, contains a series of repeating DNA sequences that resemble a feature…
