Why this annotation

Hub genes include IFITM1 (interferon-induced transmembrane protein 1), WARS1 (tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase, strongly IFN-induced), LY6E (lymphocyte antigen 6E, canonical ISG), IRF9 (interferon regulatory factor 9, master ISG transcription factor), OAS1 (2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase, antiviral ISG), PSMB10 (immunoproteasome beta subunit, IFN-induced), and PLAAT4 (phospholipase with antiviral roles). MYOF (myoferlin) and HEG1 are less canonical. This is a tight type I interferon / antiviral ISG module. Neighbor to M62 (IFN-γ activation), sharing IFITM family members, supporting an interferon-driven neighborhood.
