{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>The fresh-market tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is bred for direct human consumption. It is selected for specific traits to meet market demands and production systems, and unique genetic variations underlying fresh-market tomato yields have been recently identified. However, DNA sequence variant-trait associations are not yet fully examined even for major traits. To provide a rich genome sequence resource for various genetics and breeding goals for fresh-market tomato traits, we report whole genome sequence data of a pool of contemporary U.S. fresh-market tomatoes.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Eighty-one tomatoes were nominated by academic tomato breeding programs in the U.S. Of the 81 tomatoes, 68 were contemporary fresh-market tomatoes, whereas the remaining 13 were relevant fresh-market tomato breeding and germplasm accessions. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of the 81 tomatoes was conducted using the Illumina next-generation sequencing technology. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-free, paired-end sequencing libraries were sequenced on an average depth per sequenced base of 24 × for each tomato. This data note enhances visibility and potential for use of the more diverse, freely accessible whole genome sequence data of contemporary fresh-market tomatoes.
