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. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Although 19p13.13 microdeletion syndrome has been consistently associated with intellectual disability, overgrowth, and macrocephaly, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. MAST1, a member of the microtubule-associated serine/threonine kinase family, has been suggested as a potential candidate gene responsible for neurologic abnormalities in 19p13.13 microdeletion syndrome, but its role in nervous system development remains to be elucidated. Here, we investigated how MAST1 contributes to neuronal development. We report that MAST1 is upregulated during neuronal differentiation of the human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y. Inhibition of MAST1 expression by RNA interference attenuated neuronal differentiation of SH-SY5Y cells. Cell cycle analyses revealed that MAST1-depleted cells did not undergo cell cycle arrest after RA treatment. Consistent with this observation, the number of EdU-positive cells significantly increased in MAST1 knockdown cells. Intriguingly, levels of P27, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, were also increased during neuronal differentiation, and MAST1 knockdown reduced the exp
