With the rapid and significant cost reduction of next-generation sequencing, low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (lcWGS), followed by genotype imputation, is becoming a cost-effective alternative to single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-array genotyping. The objectives of this study were 2-fold: (1) construct a haplotype reference panel for genotype imputation from lcWGS data in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss); and (2) evaluate the concordance between imputed genotypes and SNP-array genotypes in 2 breeding populations. Medium-coverage (12×) whole-genome sequences were obtained from a total of 410 fish representing 5 breeding populations with various spawning dates. The short-read sequences were mapped to the rainbow trout reference genome, and genetic variants were identified using GATK. After data filtering, 20,434,612 biallelic SNPs were retained. The reference panel was phased with SHAPEIT5 and was used as a reference to impute genotypes from lcWGS data employing GLIMPSE2. A total of 90 fish from the Troutlodge November breeding population were sequenced with an average coverage of 1.3×, and these fish were also genotyped with the Axiom 57K rainbow trout SNP array. The concordance between array-based genotypes and imputed genotypes was 99.1%. After downsampling the coverage to 0.5×, 0.2×, and 0.1×, the concordance between array-based genotypes and imputed genotypes was 98.7, 97.8, and 96.7%, respectively. In the USDA odd-year breeding population, the concordance betwee...
