June in preprints
Posted by the Node, on 4 July 2018
Welcome to our monthly trawl for developmental biology (and other related) preprints!
This month we found a tranche of preprints getting deep into the mechanics of fly development, a clutch on organoids (retinal, cerebral, cortical!), an investigation into the role of gender in scientific collaboration, and a veritable zoo in our evo-devo section – from ladybirds to placozoans via pufferfish, hydra and choanoflagellates.
The preprints were hosted on bioRxiv, PeerJ, and arXiv. Let us know if we missed anything, and use these links to get to the section you want:
