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 we found lots of plant preprints and plenty of evo-devo work, as well as a series of preprints characterising features of the genome at distinct stages or places during development. The preprints were hosted on bioRxiv, PeerJ  and arXiv.
