I saw primer dimer in my library on bioanalyzer. If I do not want to re make the library, should I re do the size selection or purify it with ampure beads? Which one is better (cleaner and recovers more)? Thanks a lot!

Purify with Ampure XP at 1:1 - 1.2:1. We use 1:1 based on the Illumina mRNAseq prep recommendations, another contributor on the site (ETHANol) has made an absolutely excellent CHIP-seq protocol available and used 1.2:1 as a final purification step.

That is correct, for absolute clarification;
1 volume Ampure XP : 1 volume Library
for an equally good separation of the dimer with a bit better recovery, no idea of this is true but I've come to trust ETHANol's suggestions
1.2 volumes Ampure XP : 1 volume library

The complexity of your library would be limited by the number of amplifiable library molecules pre-amplification. If you happen to be able to see the library at this point on a bioanalyzer high sensitivity chip, you could estimate your maximum complexity. 100 pg is about 100 million 1 kbp molecules.
One the one hand, it would be better to remove the adapter dimer before PCR, so you don't get any of it annealing to full length library molecules and escaping later size selection.
On the other hand, if you do the PCR first, then the amount of DNA you are working with is higher. Generally it is easier to deal with higher concentration DNA than lower concentration. (At least in the low nM range and below.)

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...-
