Hi all,
I am in the amplicon PCR stage of amplifying fungal DNA. However, I need to order primers with Illumina adapters on them, as I am planning on sequencing down the line. I am following a fungal metagenomics library prep workflow for referring to the Illumina adapter sequences. The protocol says I can use a custom locus-specific primer; "The overhang adapter sequence must be added to the locus-specific primer for the region to be targeted".
However, when I am adding the Illumina adapters to my sequence in IDT (ordering 25 nmol), the reverse is 61 bp long and gives me a warning. Can someone help me understand how to order the primer with adapter attached, and if I can check their compatibility?
Thanks xx
