Microarray-based genomic selection is a central tool to increase the genetic gain of economically significant traits in dairy cattle. Yet, the effectivity of this tool is slightly limited, as estimates based on genotype data only partially explain the observed heritability. In the analysis of the genomes of 17 Israeli Holstein bulls, we compared genotyping accuracy between whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and microarray-based techniques. Using the standard GATK pipeline, the short-variant discovery within sequence reads mapped to the reference genome (ARS-UCD1.2) was compared to the genotypes from Illumina BovineSNP50 BeadChip and to an alternative method, which computationally mimics the hybridization procedure by mapping reads to 50 bp spanning the BeadChip source sequences. The number of mismatches between the BeadChip and WGS genotypes was low (0.2%). However, 17,197 (40% of the informative SNPs) had extra variation within 50 bp of the targeted SNP site, which might interfere with hybridization-based genotyping. Consequently, with respect to genotyping errors, BeadChip varied significantly and systematically from WGS genotyping, introducing null allele-like effects and Mendelian errors (<0.5%), whereas the GATK algorithm of local de novo assembly of haplotypes successfully resolved the genotypes in the extra-variable regions. These findings suggest that the microarray design should avoid polymorphic genomic regions that are prone to extra variation and that WGS data may be used to resolve erroneous genotyping, which may partially explain missing heritability
