What's the average/range of the total number of reads in 454 library?

The number will depend on the type of chemistry, the number of regions you are using (e.g., whole plate, quads, etc.), loss of quality that you willing to tolerate within the sequencing, the quality of your starting material, etc.
Just to throw out some numbers our last titanium run with 4 different experiments (samples) on it gave us:
136538 reads at 553 bases with std. deviation of 332 bases.
392301 reads at 298 std. dev. 137 bases
369737 reads at 318 std. dev. 154 bases
391092 reads at 325 std. dev. 154 bases
So roughly 1.3 million reads of around 300 bases or ~400 M base pairs.

I really depends a lot on what you're doing. Our first run with a bacteria on the titanium got 1,371,195 reads, avg 397.4, std. dev. 135. In total 505Mb.
But now we're doing runs with array enrichment and we get about 100Mb less per run. Although I've been told that a new protocol for array enrichment will perform much better.

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but my concern is if it is possible to tag the samples before doing the enrichment. My target is <<5Mb, so I was thinking of using the Nimblegen array with a high tilling (many copies of the same few probes targeting 100kb per sample) so that I could enrich many samples all together.
I was wondering if you ever tried anything like that?

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...-
