Deducing genotypes for loci of interest from SNP array data via haplotype sharing, demonstrated for apple and cherry.

ABSTRACT: Breeders, collection curators, and other germplasm users require genetic information, both genome-wide and locus-specific, to effectively manage their genetically diverse plant material. SNP arrays have become the preferred platform to provide genome-wide genetic profiles for elite germplasm and could also provide locus-specific genotypic information. However, genotypic information for loci of interest such as those within PCR-based DNA fingerprinting panels and trait-predictive DNA tests is not readily extracted from SNP array data, thus creating a disconnect between historic and new data sets. This study aimed to establish a method for deducing genotypes at loci of interest from their associated SNP haplotypes, demonstrated for two fruit crops and three locus types: quantitative trait lo
