May in preprints

Posted by , on 5 June 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


This month featured a host of preprints on plants, stem cells, connectomics and modelling. Plus the first preprint from Nobel laureate and recent Development interviewee Eric Wieschaus, an introduction to the concept of the Human Cell Atlas, and a plea from Science Editor-in-Chief Marcia McNutt and colleagues for transparency in author contributions. The preprints were hosted on bioRxiv, F1000Research, PeerJ  and arXiv.
