To identify genes whose expression is induced by active Yap which drives proliferation in murine C2C12 myoblasts (Watt et al. 2010) and primary satellite cells (Judson et al. 2012), we systematically reanalysed transcriptomic datasets of YAP1 S127A overexpression in mouse myoblasts and rhabdomyosarcomas induced by YAP1 S127A overexpression in activated satellite cells. The gene discussed is YAP1; the disease is rhabdomyosarcoma.
