Why this annotation

Hub genes TCF7 and BACH2 are master regulators of naive/memory T-cell maintenance and quiescence; SGK1, PRKCA, NUCB2 support a resting/naive CD4 T-cell program. TCF7 marks naive/stem-like T cells, BACH2 represses effector differentiation. The module reflects a naive/quiescent CD4 T-cell state rather than effector activation. Mostly uniform expression and no contamination.
