This study identifies and validates five QTLs associated with apple scab resistance using transcriptomic data and high-resolution genotyping in a biparental population.

This study uses genome and transcriptome data from apple species to show how selection and gene flow shaped the cultivated apple genome, revealing distinct gene pools and adaptive introgression patterns.

WISER improves breeding value estimation by addressing population structure and genotype-environment confounding through spectral whitening, outperforming LS-means and BLUP across multiple species and traits.

WISER improves phenotype estimation in omics studies by correcting population structure, outperforming LS and BLUP across multiple species and datasets.

This study combines genetic resources and elite material populations to improve genomic prediction accuracy in apple breeding by optimizing training set composition and population integration.

This paper integrates Infinium and Axiom SNP array data in apple, identifies compatible SNPs, and highlights challenges in data integration.
