adapter sequences at the ends of the paired-end short reads
Hi!
I am confused about the adapter sequences at the ends of the PE reads. Do they have to be reverse complement or just reverse of each other, or, are they just randomly chosen, without any relationship between them?

They'll be the reverse complement. Also, you'll typically only see this if there's the read length is greater than the fragment length, though I guess that's becoming increasingly common these days (earlier, you'd only run into this if you were looking at small RNAs).
