# Nine Hundred Fifty AI Agents Searched DNA for New Biological Machinery by Peter Diamandis > Anthropic announced that it had built its own life-science research group and wet labs. Claude, reportedly working autonomously from one prompt, searched a massive DNA database for interesting reverse transcriptases—enzymes that copy RNA or DNA. Nine hundred fifty Claude agents searched for twenty-one hours and found a repeating DNA pattern similar to CRISPR. It has been named the array-associated reverse transcriptase. Researchers do not yet know exactly what it does, but believe it may be related to programmable transcriptases and gene editing. > **— Adapted from Peter Diamandis**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* ## Sources and Context - **Recording or publication:** [MOONSHOTS Live at 43:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbk7hdOwJj4&t=2634s) — The poster text is explicitly labeled as an adaptation of the complete argument beginning at the linked timecode; it must not be represented as verbatim speech. - **Reconciled source dossier:** [[research/Jensen Pushes Back on Doomers Moonshots Live|Jensen Pushes Back on Doomers Moonshots Live]] — preserves transcript order, speaker attribution, editorial conventions, and the surrounding argument from which this Reminder was promoted. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/Longevity Escape Velocity|Longevity Escape Velocity]] - **Article:** [[articles/Vertically Integrating an AI Superpower from AI Factory to Citizen|Vertically Integrating an AI Superpower]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Peter Diamandis|Peter Diamandis]] - [[wiki/AI-Driven Biology|AI-Driven Biology]] - [[wiki/Biological Moonshots|Biological Moonshots]] ## Share on Social Media ``` Anthropic announced that it had built its own life-science research group and wet labs.
