Abstract: Methods of preparing a next generation sequencing (NGS) library from a ribonucleic acid (RNA) sample are provided. Aspects of the methods include combining the RNA sample with a first strand cDNA primer and a template switch oligonucleotide under first strand cDNA synthesis conditions, where one of the first strand cDNA primer and the template switch oligonucleotide includes a first post-tagmentation amplification primer binding domain. The resultant product is subjected to amplification conditions sufficient to produce a double stranded cDNA, which is then tagmented with a transposome that includes a second post-tagmentation amplification primer binding domain. The tagmented sample is then subjected to amplification conditions using first and second post-tagmentation amplification primers that include sequencing platform adapter constructs to produce a NGS library. Aspects of the invention further include compositions produced by the methods and kits that find use in practicing the methods.
