A genetic trigger for the Cambrian explosion unraveled?

 
Here's an interesting press release [A genetic trigger for the Cambrian explosion unraveled?]. This is the abstract, there's much more but I can't make sense of any of it.

A team of scientists led by young Croatian evolutionary geneticist Tomislav Domazet-Lošo from Ruder Boškovic Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, developed a novel methodological approach in evolutionary studies. Using the method they named 'genomic phylostratigraphy', its authors shed new and unexpected light on some of the long standing macroevolutionary issues, which have been puzzling evolutionary biologists since Darwin.

We won't be able to discuss this "revolutionary" paper because it won't be published until November. The journal is Trends in Genetics, which is billed as "the most established monthly journal in Genetics."

RPM at Evolgen didn't seem to be too impressed either [Genomic Phylostratigraphy]. Go there if you want to see a list of the really best journals in genetics.

I wish there were some way of enforcing standards on places that issue scientific press releases. This one from the Ruder Boškovic Institute (RBI) is worse than useless.
