What actually happened:
A swarm of Claude agents chewed public phage genomes.
It spotted a repeat-plus-enzyme pattern humans hadn’t flagged
Anthropic’s new wet lab is now testing it.
The last time that pattern showed up in nature, it became gene editing.
BREAKING: Anthropic’s new wet lab produces its first discovery, with nearly 1,000 Claude agents autonomously uncovering a novel enzyme system after 21 hours of work.

1) What
Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzyme’s gene sits a long array of repeating DNA—a structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR.
We don’t yet understand what this system does, but only a handful of known systems share its features, and all of them are able to cut, copy, and paste DNA. Historically, the discovery of such programmable systems has helped revolutionize medicine. CRISPR, for instance, is now the foundation of genetic medicines. But it will take much more work to learn what this system does, and whether it can be put to similar use.

H5 bird flu has been confirmed in four dead Australian sea lions, including a pup, at one of the species' key breeding grounds.
Officials tested 10 dead sea lions found on the Pages Islands, between mainland South Australia and Kangaroo Island.
Australian sea lions are endangered, making spread at a breeding site especially concerning.
About 900 crested terns have also died on the islands, but testing details for those birds are not yet clear.
