Index sequences are six bases, underlined.
The linkage of the last two bases of the TruSeq universal adapter oligo should be phosphorothiated to avoid nuclease cleavage of the T overhang.
The TruSeq adapter oligo (indexes 1–12) should be 5′-terminal phosphorylated for ligation of the inserted DNA fragments.
