why do the fastq reads include adapter sequences for illumina sequencing ?

Hello ,

As we know , we usually do the adapter trimming step for the raw fastq data from sequencing machine .

how are these adapter sequences added into the fastq reads ?

it's welcome to share some detailed and systimatical introduction doument , thanks .

sequencing

to me (personally) the mean reason is because the sequenced read is longer than the insert. The insert size is not a fixed single number but rather a range, as such there will also be short(er) inserts in the library for which you will end up in the 'other side' adapter for the requested read length
