Heatmap and value of Euclidean distance between virus and potential hosts based on RSCU values. The distance for each virus between different animals was indicated by gradient from red to canary. The species were sorted by AT(U)3s value and indicated by gradient from white to dark blue. BOMV, bamboo mosaic virus; CSFV, classical swine fever virus; EBOV, ebola virus; HAV, hepatitis A virus; HBV, hepatitis B virus; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; HSV, herpes simplex viruses; MERS‐CoV, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus; RSCU, relative synonymous codon usage; SARS‐CoV, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus; ZIKV, zika virus
