Make your own libraries/barcodes?

[cazzy]

Hello,

I am new to sequencing, and plan to perform genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening as described in this paper - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24336571

Here, they made their own amplicons by doing 1st PCR to amplify gRNA, then 2nd PCR to attach illumina adaptors and barcodes, without using a kit.

I wish to do the same, but don't know how to design my own barcodes? And what sequence do I use for the 1-9bp variable region?

Capitals are illumina adaptors, small letters are annealing regions.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Maybe this document from ILMN helps (page 23, the index part)?

Thanks Baseless, but which document are you referring to?

This is like writing an email and forgetting to actually put the attachment in place...sorry for the unconvenience, I edited the first response.
