Answers.Text: Now, I understood from you that the mates in paired-end reads are coming from two different strands, but based on the figure in https://www.biostars.org/p/95803/ and also some other sources, I implied that they are coming from two different stands as they are read from two different directions. Could you please help me in understanding this?

  I have questions regarding sequencing:
  
  Are paired-end reads from different stands?
  What about single reads, are they coming from both strands?
