gastrulation Gene Set
Dataset
GO Biological Process Annotations 2025
Category
structural or functional annotations
Type
biological process
Description
A complex and coordinated series of cellular movements that occurs at the end of cleavage during embryonic development of most animals. The details of gastrulation vary from species to species, but usually result in the formation of the three primary germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. (Gene Ontology , GO_0007369 )
