Most AI models are only as good as the data they're built on. In biology, that's been a limiting factor for years. Most foundation models learn from the same public datasets, which means they inherit the same blind spots. Basecamp Research took a different path. Glen Gowers and Oliver Vince set out to build a richer map of biology by collecting DNA where others hadn't looked. That work started with a full DNA sequencing lab packed into portable gear running off-grid on a glacier in Iceland. More than half of what they sequenced had never been seen before. Today, that work reaches a much broader community. Basecamp Research's biological foundation model is now available through Claude Science, giving scientists access to one of the deepest maps of natural biology directly within their research workflows. In addition to Claude Science, it can be accessed through all of Anthropic’s products for scientific use: Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Mobile, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork through connector settings.
