We have 3 different lengths of inserts: ~700, ~500 and ~275 bp and we consider mixing them in one lane in HiSeq. Is it known, or is it possible to estimate what is the bias in favor of shorter inserts? Is the 700 bp insert going to be completely overwhelmed by shorter ones?

My advice:
You are better off putting the 700's in another lane. But if that isn't a possibility then, do qPCR to determine their concentrations. Then based on those results make a pool that has 2x more 700 than 500 and 0.5x 275 than 500.
57:29:14 ratios for 700:500:275 insert sizes.
I'm mainly going by intuition here, though. I might be over-correcting or under-correcting...

superpyrin, the bias toward the small insert size has been our own personal experience as well. I've observed a 20% skewing of the read count toward the smaller fragment size (350 vs. 550) when both library were loaded at equal ratios. You'll want to perform a pooling approach as pmiguel suggest if pooling all three libraries together.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
