February in preprints

Posted by , on 4 March 2019

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


February was notable for the amount of neural development, from retina to cortex and fly to fish. We also found butterfly wings, human segmentation, a plenitude of of plants and sequenced genomes for komodo dragons, parasitic wasps, copepods and one celebrity cat.

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:
