Anthropic's Claude AI—operating as 950 parallel agents—discovered ART (Array-associated Reverse Transcriptases), a novel enzyme system capable of cutting, copying, and pasting DNA sequences in a single operation. The breakthrough compressed years of manual genetic research into 21 hours, processing 200,000+ genetic records and 210M tokens. While clinical deployment remains years away, this demonstrates AI's potential to dramatically accelerate the discovery phase of genetic medicine—a capability relevant to biotech innovation and SMEs entering health-tech sectors.
