For example, the work shows that humans are more closely related to rodents than to dogs or cats.

Shows, but not for the first time. Our relationship to the Rodentia has been pretty clear from the dawn of gene sequencing. This looks interesting, but what we really need is a little information about a lot of species, rather than a lot of information about a few. Once you've gotten phylogenetic trees using 10 or 20 genes, I'm not sure adding another 30,000 improves things much.

No we haver a pretty good idea on the phylogenetic tree just from the mitochondrial DNA.
