Hopefully it gets peer reviewed soon. It's interesting but I would like to see it reproduced before we say it was discovered.

In a study that has yet to be peer reviewed

This article is from January. It has since been peer reviewed and published in Cell. But, having been peer reviewed has no bearing on reproducibility unless within this study they were to have multiple independent groups repeat their experiments. Which I don’t think they did. Still, good study I think.
