* Mean rank is simply calculated from averaging over rankings (in decreasing order of abundance) for all thirteen proteomes.

** Number of times the bias appears in the top 10 (with the number of proteomes this bias occurs in, in brackets).

*** The types of CB region have been ranked in increasing order of mean rank for the human proteome.
