1. A method for tagging a cDNA polynucleotide, the method comprising:
providing a double-stranded mRNA: cDNA hybrid comprising a first strand cDNA polynucleotide having a 5′ end and a 3′ end and hybridized to a complementary mRNA having a 5′ end and a 3′ end, wherein the 5′ end of the first strand cDNA polynucleotide comprises a first adapter sequence or complement thereof;
synthesizing one or more second strand cDNA polynucleotides that are complementary to and hybridized to the first strand cDNA polynucleotide, wherein the synthesizing comprises:
i) hybridizing random primers to the first strand cDNA of the mRNA: cDNA hybrid and extending hybridized random primers to form the one or more second strand cDNA polynucleotides;
contacting the double-stranded cDNA polynucleotide with an adapter-loaded tagmentase, thereby forming a reaction mixture comprising a tagged double-stranded cDNA polynucleotide comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end comprises the first adapter sequence and complement thereof, and the second end comprises a second adapter sequence and complement thereof,
forming partitions comprising (a) amplification primers comprising at least one primer comprising a partition-specific barcode and (b) the first strand cDNA and the second strand cDNAs and
amplifying the first and second strand cDNAs with the amplification primers.
