Genes under strong positive selection pressure provide supporting evidence for the predicted conflict between the 'desire' of a sequence to encode both a protein and stem-loop potential. The conflict is resolved by moving stem-loop potential to introns. This approach permits evaluation of positive Darwinian selection using only a single sequence.
