Whole genome sequence data of 516 F plants of tomato ().

The large-fruited fresh-market tomato cultivated in the U.S. represents a unique fruit market class of contemporary (modern) tomatoes for direct consumption. The genomes of F plants from crosses between inbred contemporary U.S. large-fruited fresh-market tomatoes were sequenced. 516 F individual plants randomly selected from five different biparental segregating populations were used for DNA extraction. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-free, paired-end (2 × 150 bp) sequencing libraries (350 bp DNA fragment length) were prepared, and sequenced on average 5 Gb for each plant using the Illumina next-generation sequencing technologies [1,2]. Raw Illumina reads with adapter contamination and/or uncertain nucleotides constitute (Ns, >10 % of either read; Q-score 5 or lower, >50 % of either read) were removed. This data article will contribute to improving our knowledge of the genetic recombination and variation in tomato.
