[Relevant forum posts...](https://forum.qiime2.org/search?q=mr%20dna) I mention that, because (as I understand it), Mr DNA substitutes the barcodes after sequencing, replacing them with what is essentially placeholder nucleotides. With all that said, you should also have received a file that identifies which barcode belongs to which sample. If you have that, you can import and demux using [q2-cutadapt](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/demultiplexing-and-trimming-adapters-from-reads-with-q2-cutadapt/2313)! Check out this tutorial for more details.

Keep us posted! :qiime2: 🦖
