I read the abstract. The link says they do 50,000 SNP's with their chip in the dairy industry. 23andMe does hundred thousands of SNPs according to their website.
They do some statistics with that data because to see which SNPs are important but otherwise I don't see what they do much different.
High SNP numbers are misleading and have little predictive value. But that's not the important bit; the important bit is how this information is actually used.
