After binarizing data (large values = 1, small values = 0), run tests showed near-significant ( Z = 1.772, p = 0.076) deviation from randomness for gene length and haplotype diversity, while nucleotide diversity displayed highly significant deviation ( Z = 2.938, p = 0.003), revealing a near-perfect “small-large-small-large” periodicity.
