would be nice to see their tree… is it online yet?
The link to the study is here, but not sure if you can get the study for free

The tree is itself nothing new….going through the phylogeny most of the results are things we have known or suspected for awhile. A quick perusal only picks out a few oddities (camels as the earliest even-toed hoof mammals for instance?).
The divergence dating however…is a bit funky. They have a divergence date for elephants at 7 mya, and 30 mya, which is way way too young. and a divergence date for rodents back into the cretaceous, which is way too old
