Why this annotation

Hub genes are dominated by nuclear chromatin and RNA-binding factors: ANP32B (histone chaperone), HMGA1/HMGB1/HMGN1-like high-mobility group proteins, HNRNPM/HNRNPD (hnRNPs), CBX3 (HP1-gamma), MBD2, HAT1 (histone acetyltransferase), NUCKS1, NUDT21. This is a proliferation-associated chromatin/RNA-processing program (many are markers of dividing cells). Uniform expression with no contaminating subset, core coherence. The mix of chromatin remodelers and hnRNPs reflects a broad nuclear biosynthetic/proliferative state rather than a single discrete pathway. Best fit is DNA/chromatin regulation given HMGA1, HMGB1, CBX3, MBD2, HAT1, PARP-like activity.
