TruSeq Stranded Total RNA + NEB Barcodes??

[RickC7]

Looking to get more index possibilities out of a TruSeq Stranded Total RNA LT kit. NEB Ultra directional workflow looks the same and NEB will sell the extra barcode kit alone. As far as I can tell, it looks like the NEB index adapters will work with the TruSeq kit, since both use dA-tailing... NEB #E7335, #E7500. Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

Keep in mind you'll require treatment of the adapter ends with the USER enzyme to free the circularized ends for downstream sequencing chemistry. This is a step you would have to incorporate into the TruSeq workflow. Not sure how easy that would be with the master mixes, etc. of the TruSeq kit.

Yes, I found a couple of caveats and work-arounds, but thankfully I won't need to employ any customization as Illumina gratefully offered to send me extra barcodes for this instance.
Thanks!
