June in preprints

Posted by , on 5 July 2017

Our latest monthly trawl for developmental biology (and other cool) preprints. See last year’s introductory post for background, and let us know if we missed anything


We started this feature a year ago, and each month it’s taken a little longer to curate as more labs decide to deposit preprints alongside conventional channels of publication, and as this practise is encouraged by an increasing number of journals, funding bodies and academic organisations.

 

Neuroblast division from Hannaford, et al.’s preprint

 

Highlights this anniversary month include a lot of neural development, analyses of a controversial CRISPR off target paper (and a word from the authors of the original paper), an analysis of stem cells and mutation in long lived trees, a slew of new genomes (gar, greyling, reindeer, zucchini and colonial tunicate!), and the routine acronym-fest of new data analysis tools (incorporating mimosas and pineapples this time). The preprints were hosted on bioRxivPeerJ  and arXiv.
