I want to be on this level one day. Or at least a couple of levels under it would be satisfactory.
This pet is beautiful and makes me happy for my own Experiment #404.

Wow I was not expecting this and certainly not expecting all the wonderful comments ;w;
I put in a few things that unless you already know a little about biology you might have overlooked, such as:
- The DNA strand on the page has a major and minor groove
- When you click the deletion link, one strand now has 'TAG' in it. Depending where that is (which direction, if it's on the coding strand etc) it can create a stop codon which will result in a truncated protein being produced
- Frameshift's overlay is striped in reference to the banding patterns seen when chromosomes are stained using certain chemicals as in karyograms
- Frameshift is an experiment 404 which references the resource not found HTTP status code, so I thought it fitting to represent deletions(that can cause frameshift mutations)
I wish I could have written more but I felt like I was giving a lecture through a pet page x3

I have been fascinated by this pet since I first saw the art on tumblr. I love and apprciate any type of education pet and one that tackles mutations in DNA was sure to be a winner. Excellent job, very creative with the concept for the pet art and profile graphics. Thank you for creating a great science pet that helps explain one of the most interesting aspects of genetics, and for mentioning gene therapy!

Frameshift is beautiful! As a biologist, I really appreciate this. The profile is so smooth and cool looking, too!

Holy cow. This layout is INSANE and the story and layout work so well together. Just lovely.

WOW what. The deletion/fix links are so cooool.
(Also if there's a minion on the page, someone please point me to it I'm blind. If not, and if I'm reading the code right there probably isn't, still cool)

Sweethellsballs! That overlay is ingenious for the subject material. The profile animation is hypnotizing. I would like to read more about the story!
