The establishment of branched tubular epithelial structures is critical for the viability of
multicellular organisms: the tracheal system in Drosophila and the vertebrate lung being two
such structures. Although there are obvious differences in the complexity of these branched
organs, many of the underlying mechanisms and genes regulating their development
appear to have been evolutionarily conserved.
