Column titles, Arachnida, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, and non-Insects, represent viruses infecting the hosts of Arachnida, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, and non-Insects, respectively. A tick symbol (✓) and a cross symbol (✗) represent the host-taxa-groups selecting or not selecting the corresponding codons as the preferred codons, respectively.
