Gastrulation constitutes a fundamental yet diverse morphogenetic process of metazoan development. Modes of gastrulation range from stochastic translocation of individual cells to coordinated infolding of an epithelial sheet. How such morphogenetic differences are genetically encoded and whether they have provided specific developmental advantages is unclear. Here we identify two genes, <i>folded gastrulation</i> and <i>t48</i>, which in the evolution of fly gastrulation acted as a likely switch ...[more]
