Abstract
The egg contains a set of molecules that can be used to trigger cell‐shape changes leading to morphogenetic movements. The temporally and spatially controlled activation of these molecules, and hence the choreography of gastrulation movements, is determined by region‐specific expression of transcription factors which turn on a set of downstream targets whose products mediate the successive steps of gastrulation.Keywords
