The molecular mechanisms underlying tumour initiation remain elusive. Here, the authors use spatiotemporally controlled oncogene activation and tumour suppressor inhibition with multi-omics to unveil the role of YAP-mediated oral epithelial progenitor cell reprogramming into tumour-initiating cells.
