I've been using Claude Science a lot and it is VERY good at finding patterns in the DNA around my binding sites - quite often it went 'you could put your primer here but that looks like an Alu repeat, so better not, the primer won't be specific' - it seems like the press release is one step above that pattern recognition? I.e., 'there's a recurring motif here that hasn't been described before', which is probably straightforward to pick up when your context window is 1 million tokens, i.e. within the range of entire bacterial genomes...
