December in preprints

Posted by , on 4 January 2018

Our latest monthly trawl for developmental biology (and other cool) preprints. Let us know if we missed anything.


 

In their end of year round up, Science magazine picked ‘Biology preprints take off’ as a runner up 2018 Breakthrough of the Year, and ran a quote from Ron Vale –

 

“It’s a major cultural change in communication.”

 

In compiling this list over 2017 (which month by month gets longer and longer), it’s been exciting to witness the buzz around preprints grow and watch this cultural change take place. 

As for December, two organs seem to predominate – brains and kidneys! Also plenty of beautiful evo-devo and cell biology work, a good chunk of modelling, and the Drosophilists dream – a machine that collects your virgins for you!

The preprints were hosted on bioRxivPeerJ, and arXiv. Use these links to get to the section you want:
