March in preprints

Posted by , on 6 April 2017

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


March was (yet) another bumper month for life sciences preprints. A glance at some of the names of last authors – Daniel St. Johnston, Denise Montell, Dennis Duboule, Roberto Mayor, Fiona Watt – shows that preprints are being embraced by established as well as early career scientists. The content itself covers every base in developmental biology, as well as a lot of exciting cell biology and modelling relevant for development, and an acronym-rich list of tools and resources.

The preprints were hosted predominantly on bioRxiv, though we also found a handful on arXiv and PeerJ.
