Evolutionary Change in Gut Specification in <i>Caenorhabditis</i> Centers on the GATA Factor ELT-3 in an Example of Developmental System Drift

Cells in a developing animal embryo become specified by the activation of cell-type-specific gene regulatory networks. The network that specifies the gut in the nematode <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> has been the subject of study for more than two decades. In this network, the maternal f...
