What is 3' bias exactly? I understand it is something caused by the enrichment of poly(A) mRNA using oligo(dT) primer.(or is that wrong?) How does it cause the 3' bias?

Since polyA tails are at the 3'-end of mRNA's any method that uses polyA sequence for enrichment is likely to recover fragments from that end.
This leads to a greater chance of having sequences from the 3'-end in the resulting reads as opposed to reads that represent the 5'-end of the molecules.

Originally posted by numfar View PostSo the mRNA has been fragmented? Is this intentionally?(if so why?)
Typical RNA-Seq workflow goes a bit like this (based on Illumina TruSeq method):
Enrich mRNA (usually PolyA enrichment by Oligo dT beads x2)
Fragment mRNA to required size (usually metal ion-catalyzed base hydrolysis fragmentation)
Reverse transcribe to make double stranded cDNA
Library prep (end repair, adenylate, ligate adapters, size select, PCR enrich)
QC and Quantify library

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...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
