We are getting close to the yearly annoyance that is April fools' day, but this seems legitimate (a day would be fine, but it's starting to be more like a month, so I had to check that the New Scientists is published weekly). The article somewhat exaggerates the performance, though, by showing the copy-pasted hair, ears and earring (in gray). The PLOS paper (http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal...) doesn't show any of those. Ears in particular, seem a logical next target.
