October in preprints

Posted by , on 1 November 2018

Welcome to our monthly trawl for developmental biology (and related) preprints. 


This month we decided to reinstate our Plant Development section after a Twitter chat, and as it happened October had a glut of preprints covering all aspects of plant development. You’ll also find lots of regeneration (kidneys, colons, eyes, axons and whole colonial tunicates), a typically diverse Evo-devo zoo, and a feast for fans of cell division in our Cell Biology section.

The preprints were hosted on bioRxivPeerJ, and arXiv. Let us know if we missed anything, and use these links to get to the section you want:
