Molluscs represent one of ancient and evolutionarily most successful groups of marine invertebrates, with a tremendous diversity of morphology, behavior, and lifestyle. Molluscs are excellent subjects for evo‐devo studies; however, understanding of the evo‐devo of molluscs has been largely hampered by incomplete fossil records and limited molecular data. Recent advancement of genomics and other technologies has greatly fueled the molluscan “evo‐devo” field, and decoding of several molluscan genomes provides unprecedented insights into molluscan biology and evolution. Here, we review the recent progress of molluscan genome sequencing as well as novel insights gained from their genomes, by emphasizing how molluscan genomics enhances our understanding of the evo‐devo of molluscs.

软体动物的进化：从基因组学角度的见解

软体动物代表着古代无脊椎动物和进化最成功的海洋无脊椎动物之一，形态，行为和生活方式各异。软体动物是evo-devo研究的优秀学科；然而，由于化石记录不完整和分子数据有限，对软体动物进化的理解受到很大的阻碍。基因组学和其他技术的最新发展极大地推动了软体动物的“进化”领域，对几种软体动物基因组的解码为软体动物的生物学和进化提供了前所未有的见识。在这里，我们通过强调软体动物基因组学如何增强我们对软体动物进化的理解，来回顾软体动物基因组测序的最新进展以及从其基因组中获得的新见解。
