Well it’s of a similar nature to many other papers on _de novo_ genes where comparative genetics are used to infer that (and how) novel protein coding genes emerge _de novo_ from non-coding DNA. For example [the paper that was discussed here](https://discourse.peacefulscience.org/t/mechanisms-of-the-origination-of-new-protein-coding-genes/7400) not too long ago about de novo genes in rice.
