His deceptively simple question was about the geometry of tilings, also called tessellations—arrangements of shapes, called tiles or cells, that fill a surface with no gaps or overlaps.

They observed that while elevated temperatures increased intron retention in wild type cells, the mutant strain retained more introns in genes. However, unlike in wild type cells, splicing mutants ...
