Let's say someone wanted to make an RNA library (for the MiSeq or HiSeq) without using RNA-Seq. Is it valid to just remove the ribosomal RNA, make cDNA, and then make a TruSeq library? Would you use the same shearing protocol on the Covaris that you do for genomic DNA even though it's already in smaller pieces?

Basically, there's no difference at all between an RNASeq library and a transcriptome library, the difference in the two terms is really about how you treat your data. If you need to assemble the data for de novo transcriptome analysis, which it seems you might be doing, you'll want the library to be strand specific as it will greatly aid in assembly.
Aside form that, there's no difference in making a transcriptome library from rRNA depleted cDNA compared to a standard DNA library. Depending on what you're doing, and assuming you use the HiSeq, you may not even need to remove the rRNAs. And depending on which system you do sequence one, you may want to adjust your shearing to give you the best fragment size for the sequencing kit you'll be using (e.g. 750bp fragments for a 600 cycle V3 MiSeq kit versus 4-500 bp for a HiSeq run).

Essentially this is how some of the libraries were a few years ago...cDNA conversion frist then shearing. It should be noted however, that it was also shown that there is some biases introduced by shearing after making cDNA compared to shearing the RNA first.

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...-
