a

Only the 15 motifs with the highest relative enrichment are shown for each virus. For AcMNPV, sequences that are part of the consensus TATA box [TATA(a/t)A] are underlined. Bold indicates a P value of ≤0.05

b

Both strands, excluding homologous repeats (present for AcMNPV and SHGV).

c

Occurrence of a 4-mer or 5-mer based on random distribution of nucleotides in the complete genome.

d

Part of the AcMNPV late initiator sequence (a/g/t)TAAG.

e

Part of the AcMNPV upstream activating element with sequence (a/t)GATA(a/t).

f

Part of the AcMNPV downstream activating element with sequence (a/t)CACNG.

g

Sequence of the AcMNPV early initiator sequence CAGT.
