In 1992, \textit{F. Chung}, \textit{P. Diaconis} and \textit{R. Graham} [Discrete Math. 110, 43--59 (1992; Zbl 0776.05001)] generalized de Bruijn cycles into universal cycles. In 1999, B. W. Jackson conjectured that for \(n> 3\) no \((n, n-2)\) universal cycles exist. In the present paper the authors confirm this conjecture.
