The paper improves whole genome sequence quality using pedigree information and reference genotypic profiles, demonstrating the approach in apple genomes.

The paper develops a method to deduce genotypes at specific loci from SNP array data using haplotype sharing, validated in apple and cherry breeding programs.

The paper develops a workflow to generate high-quality SNP genotypic data for apple, peach, and sweet cherry using pedigree records and inheritance principles, resulting in curated haploblock data sets.

The paper estimates genomic heritability in sweet cherry, finding non-additive genetic variance is significant for key traits, and highlights the importance of including these components in breeding models.
