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.

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

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...-
