As he reports in the latest issue of Current Biology, he and his team have worked their magic on a gene called FOXP2 found in Neanderthal remains from northern Spain.

Both his laboratory at Guelph and the Smithsonian's Laboratories of Analytical Biology can sequence the COI gene rapidly, and have thus been dubbed "barcode factories", so this looks feasible.

Topical to the discussion of HIV eradication is the biology behind latent infection as well as models for the study of latency and pharmacological approaches to stimulate proviral gene expression.
