Take your read length, and multiply it by the number of bases to get the total bases present in your dataset. So for a 1M SE @ 50bp, you have 50Mb. For 1M PE @50bpx50bp, you have 100Mb. If you look at one PE file (reads1), then you get 50Mb. Note, that the bfast file will contain both PE in the same file, so that would be 100Mb.

The formula i'm using for N is
N = (Genome size x Coverage) / ( RL1 + RL2)
So if my Genome size is 100Mb, Coverage is 10 and RL1 = RL2 = 50 (PE)
N = 100,000,000 x 10 / 100 = 10,000,000 read pairs
i.e *_10X_PE_1.fq = *_10x_PE_2.fq = 10,000,000 reads.
Now, if RL2=0, keeping coverage and genome size the same,
N = 100,000,000 x 10 / 50 = 20,000,000 read pairs or reads
i.e *_10X_SE_.fq1 = 20,000,000 reads and *_10X_SE_2.fq = 0 reads.
I Hope i'm right till here.
Furthermore, if i have already generated 20X coverage PE for the same genome,
N = 100,000,000 x 20 / 100 = 20,000,000 read pairs
i.e *_20X_PE_1.fq = *_20X_PE_2.fq = 20,000,000 reads.
Is it safe to assume that
either *_20X_PE_1.fq OR *_20X_PE_2.fq can be used as a substitute for *_10X_SE_.fq1 as both have the same number of reads?

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

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...-
