A genome-wide screen identifies YAP/WBP2 interplay conferring growth advantage on human epidermal stem cells

Individual human epidermal cells differ in their self-renewal ability. Here the authors perform genome-wide pooled RNAi screens to uncover the molecular basis for this heterogeneity, and identify genes conferring a clonal growth advantage on normal and neoplastic human epidermal cells.
