To discover sequence differences responsible for adaptation to diverse environments across the native range of Arabidopsis thaliana, we sequenced 80 wild inbred accessions from eight geographic regions in Eurasia, with 10- to 20-fold genome coverage using Illumina's sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) technology.

Paired-end short reads (42- to 64-bp ) were analyzed using our software pipeline SHORE to identify near 5 million SNPs. In addition, we called structural variants including long insertions, deletions and inversions using paired -end information.

We have released the SNPs and structural variants (SVs) in our Data Center. We have also deposited the seeds of accessions into ABRC stock center (CS76427).
