Says findings are preliminary and don't demonstrate gene editing

Anthropic's Claude spent about 21 hours searching more than 200,000 reverse transcriptases, enzymes that copy RNA into DNA. It flagged one sitting beside a repeating DNA array that resembles CRISPR's layout. Lab tests showed the array produces short RNAs, but the partner enzyme, named ART, has no known function.
