November in preprints

Posted by , on 5 December 2017

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


 

This month in preprint news – here at The Company of Biologists, set just outside Cambridge in the UK, we’re hiring a new ‘Preprints Community Manager’. You can find out more here. It’s a great opportunity to get in to science communication and publishing, and of course preprints!

 

And this month in preprints, we found platypuses and pigeons, xenotransplants and reoriented axes,  CRISPR tools and liquid droplets. The preprints were hosted on bioRxivPeerJ, and arXiv. Use these links to get to the section you want:
