Does removal of PCR duplicates mean that all the reads are removed or only one read is kept?
If only one read is kept, then it won't influence the de novo assembling result no matter removing PCR duplicates or not. If all the reads are removed, then bias is created.

If you have paired-end data for RNA-seq, PCR duplicates should be removed. There is a very low probability to get identically mapping paired-end reads and the bias from leaving PCR duplicates will almost certainly be worse than the removal of a few genuine fragments.

PCR duplicates are sequences of DNA that arise from the same parent molecule throughout the course of many PCR cycles. Thus, after sequencing one of them, you do not learn any new biological information from sequencing more of them as you are just repetitively obtaining the sequence of the same parent molecule.
If two reads map to the exact same location and have the same sequence, that is evidence they are PCR duplicates. It's also possible that this will occur by random chance, especially if you obtain high coverage. If you use paired end reads, then it's easier to pick out duplicates as both reads have to start at the same location.
You should definitely remove PCR duplicates as they do not yield more information. In fact, they will artificially give you more information, possibly misrepresenting the actual sample.

PCR duplicates questions
Hi,
I'm still confused about PCR duplicates removal and have some questions about it.
1. What is PCR duplicates? Can I say that all reads mapped to the same genome location are PCR duplicates?
2. Is PCR duplicates removal necessary for mRNA Seq and Genome DNA Seq?
Thanks a lot!

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
