Thanks. I think the non-traditional nucleotides make me confused.
BTW, Should R1 always use forward primer and R2 use reversed primer? Does illumina have any rules? Or it doesn't matter.
My first read is from R1 fastq file but it begins with reverse primer. The 2nd read is from R2 fastq file and begins with forward primer.
