The research groups of Michael C. Schatz and Zachary B. Lippman at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York have generated sequences variant data of the green-fruited wild tomato species Solanum peruvianum. The S. peruvianum sequence data were generated using Illumina sequencing technology consisting of paired-end 50 base pair reads of mRNAs. All reads were mapped to the S. lycopersicum cv. Heinz reference transcriptome using BWA and variants were identified using SAMtools/bcftools with default parameters. All 69772 variants were presented in a vcf file called 'peru_samtools.vcf', including 65612 SNPs and 4160 indels. 

We are pleased to provide to the Solanaceae and broader plant biology communities with the pre-publication sequence variants of S. peruvianum. The variant data set is free for the community without any restrictions in their use.
