Lick your pups!

There is a really interactive site from U of Utah that explains a wide arrange of genetic concepts called Learn.Genetics (they have another for teachers/instructors called Teach.Genetics). One of their pages is on the epigenetics of the GR gene and you actually have to lick your pups before the time is up or else they will grow up having an impaired stress response. I thought this was neat.
