The expected random number of occurrences of each motif in the cytoplasmic tails of 984 human or 782 mouse non-redundant type I transmembrane proteins is compared with the actual number of occurrences of the motif. The % difference was calculated as % 100 * (actual occurrences – expected occurrences / expected occurrences).
