Significance The mammalian gut is a complex set of tissues formed during development by orchestrating the timing of expression of many genes. Here we uncover the identity of these genes, their pathways, and how they change during gut organogenesis. We used RNA-seq profiling in the wild-type mouse gut in both sexes during development (E10.5–E14.5), as well as in aRet null mouse, a model of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). These studies have allowed us to expand the universe of genes and developmental processes that contribute to enteric neuronal innervation and to its dysregulation in disease.
