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 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...-
