Many eukaryotic genes contain a large number of exons. Correct splicing of such genes requires that neighboring exons be ligated to one another; if they are not, exons will be left out. One early proposal suggested that the splicing machinery bound to a splice site at one end of an intron and scanned through the intron to find the splice site at the other end. Such a scanning mechanism would guarantee that an exon was never skipped. This hypothesis was tested with one minigene with a duplicated 5ʹ splice site. Find diagram of the products you expect from minigene if the splicing machinery binds to a 5ʹ splice site and scans toward a 3ʹ splice site.
