Is this really a breakthrough?

I was just reading this online article which says "IBM researchers unveil genetic breakthrough". All it talks about is finding coding patterns in noncoding regions... isn't this something that most of you guys know or am I missing something here? We have seen so many papers verifying that JUNK DNA is actually NOT JUNK, so what is the point of this article? Can anyone help me in understanding the breakthrough being made here.
Thanks in advance,

announcement: Geneious - freeware bioinformatics data analysis and visualization tool

This is an announcement of a bioinformatics tool, published as freeware for the community.

Geneious is an easy-to-use, cross-platform (Windows, OS X, Unix) bioinformatics data analysis and visualization tool. It has an open API for writing plugins. You can use Geneious to compare genes from different species, to build an evolutionary tree to see how closely related they are, or to search for literature on any topic in medicine or biology. You can view and extract gene annotations from whole genomes, and interactive 3D graphics allow you to move around protein structures.

Version 1.0 of Geneious has just been published as freeware. Biomatters hopes that you will put the program to good use in your research, and we are eager to hear your comments and feedback.
