R2 is generally lower quality and more likely to be trimmed if quality-trimming was done, and less likely to be mapped (if for example the bam only contains mapped reads).

Why there is a difference in size between R1 and R2 fastq files from BAM?
Hi,
I downloaded bunch of bam files from TCGA projects and converted them to fastq files. Even though these BAM files are pair-end WES data, the size of fastq_R1 is different with the size of fastq_R2 in many cases. Sometime, the difference are 1 or several lines as well as almost two fold differences in file size. I used SamToFastq.jar of Picard. The command I used is as follows;
java -Xmx16g -jar SamToFastq.jar TMP_DIR=. INPUT=$file FASTQ=fastqR2 SECOND_END_FASTQ=fastqR2 VALIDATION_STRINGENCY=LENIENT VERBOSITY=ERROR";
For example,
TCGA-50-5946-01A_R1.fastq -> 3504190138
TCGA-50-5946-01A_R2.fastq -> 3504224169
TCGA-A7-A0CE-11A_R1.fastq -> 40393996094
TCGA-A7-A0CE-11A_R2.fastq -> 21008959121
It would be great if you give a clue about this.

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...-
