Why this annotation

This module has weak coherence, low mean expression, and low pct positive. Nearly all genes have weak membership scores. Hub genes include RALB (RAS-related GTPase involved in vesicle trafficking and survival signaling), CCDC85B (coiled-coil domain protein), SBNO1 (transcriptional repressor), HAX1 (anti-apoptotic, mitochondria-associated), CKLF (chemokine-like factor), IL27RA (IL-27 receptor, immune regulation), TNFRSF25 (DR3, TNF receptor superfamily member involved in ILC activation), RASSF5 (RAS association domain, apoptosis/adhesion), VPS29 (retromer complex, endosomal trafficking), M6PR (mannose-6-phosphate receptor, lysosomal targeting). The ILC1 enrichment of several genes (RALB, CKLF, IL27RA, TNFRSF25, COMMD8, GDE1, RASSF5, VAMP5) is notable. IL27RA and TNFRSF25 are cytokine/TNF receptor signaling components relevant to ILC/NK biology. The module is weakly coherent and likely represents a mixed program of vesicle trafficking, signaling, and immune receptor expression. The neighbor context (surrounded by other housekeeping/mixed modules) supports a loosely defined signaling/trafficking program. Given the weak coherence and low expression, this is likely a mixed module combining endosomal trafficking with immune receptor signaling.
