We uncovered a complex web of purchasing and reconnected Cinchona collections between Madrid and London by analysing 18-19th century archives at Real Jardín Botánico, Madrid.

Using hybrid genomic (live generated at the Nanopore Conference 2019) and RNA-seq data, we assembled and annotated the plastid and nuclear genome of the Andean fever tree (Cinchona pubescens).

We standardised laboratory protocols and bioinformatic workflows to genotype historical Cinchona barks.

We examine conservation status and actions required to protect biodiversity and improve living standards and well-being for the Malagasy people.

We characterize the biological history and diversity of the Malagasy island.

We found the content of quinine-like alkaloids from historical Cinchona barks were stable over time by comparing historical chemical annotations to HPLC estimations.

We assembled and annotated the genome of the first Pasteurella multocida strain infecting alpaca.
