May in preprints

Posted by , on 1 June 2018

Welcome to our monthly trawl for preprints in developmental biology (plus those hopefully relevant for developmental biologists).

May featured the usual catch of fascinating and beautiful work across the spectrum in the field, from Hox in mice and beetles, doublesex in beetles and bees, and three spinal cord regeneration preprints (incuding one using lampreys!). Our most prolific preprinter was Didier Stainier with four – a productive month for the Bad Nauheim-based biologist.

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