AI-discovered biological systems need independent replication before being credited

Artificial intelligence research, products, and impact across society.

Accelerating scientific discovery using machine learning and AI methods.

Novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like DNA repeats, called array-associated reverse transcriptases, that Claude agents identified in bacteriophage genomes in 2026 with little human direction, through Anthropic's life sciences research group.

Anthropic's drug discovery push, detailed on October 27, 2026: research partnerships with six companies including Bristol Myers Squibb, Generate Biomedicines and Enveda, and in-house work on rare muscular dystrophies after acquiring Mithril Medicine.
