#Anthropic’s biolab made a discovery it’s comparing to #Crispr
Over 21hr, nearly 950 #Claude #AIagents worked through 210M tokens before one spotted an unusual repeating pattern in the dataset and flagged for human review. Further analysis and lab testing revealed “previously uncharacterized enzyme system found in #bacteriophages,” a type of #virus that infects #bacteria.
Anthropic said it is still working to understand what the enzyme system does.

#AI can now design functional #viruses - not the computer kind, either
Inject this synthetic #phage into #Ecoli and it kills better than the real thing
#Bacteriophages, are viruses that infect bacteria, have been widely studied since their discovery in the early 20th century. The end result of the AI portion of the project was a pool of 302 candidate #genomes, 285 of which were able to generate full genomes. Of those, 16 were found to inhibit growth of E. coli #bacteria.

Big Picture Science for Sep. 29, 2025: Not Just a Phage
REPEAT
We’re hurtling towards a post-antibiotic world, as the overuse of antibiotics has given rise to dangerous drug-resistant bacteria. Can we fight back using viruses as weapons? An obscure medical therapy uses certain viruses called bacteriophages to treat infection. For a century attempts to turn phage-therapy into a life-saving treatment have faltered, but today there’s renewed interest in this approach. Can we use phages to forestall the antibiotic crisis?Guests:
* Claas Kirchhelle – Medical historian at the University College, Dublin
* Tom Ireland – Journalist, editor of The Biologist and author of “The Good Virus: The Amazing Story and Forgotten Promise of the Phage”
* Steffanie Strathdee – Associate Dean of Global Health Sciences at the University of California San Diego
* Tom Patterson – Professor of psychiatry at the University of California San DiegoOriginally aired August 12, 2024

Phage display (Microbiology 🦠)
Phage display is a laboratory technique for the study of protein–protein, protein–peptide, and protein–DNA interactions that uses bacteriophages to connect proteins with the genetic information that encodes them. In this technique, a gene encoding a protein of interest is inserted into a phage coat protein gene, causing the phage to "di...
