    Is this bisulfite sequencing stranded or not?

    This is my first time analyzing bisulfite sequencing. I've downloaded this ENCODE whole genome bisulfite sequencing data to analyze using Bismark. I can't find anywhere on that page where it clearly says whether it's stranded or not. I did a test alignment with one of the files (ENCFF001ZVL) of 1 million reads and these are the results:

    Default (strand-specific) alignment:

    Code:
    Final Alignment report
    ======================
    Sequences analysed in total:	1000000
    Number of alignments with a unique best hit from the different alignments:	786594
    Mapping efficiency:	78.7%
    
    Sequences with no alignments under any condition:	115586
    Sequences did not map uniquely:	97820
    Sequences which were discarded because genomic sequence could not be extracted:	0
    
    Number of sequences with unique best (first) alignment came from the bowtie output:
    CT/CT:	394999	((converted) top strand)
    CT/GA:	391595	((converted) bottom strand)
    GA/CT:	0	(complementary to (converted) top strand)
    GA/GA:	0	(complementary to (converted) bottom strand)
    
    Number of alignments to (merely theoretical) complementary strands being rejected in total:	0
    --non_directional (non-strand specific) alignment:

    Code:
    Final Alignment report
    ======================
    Sequences analysed in total:	1000000
    Number of alignments with a unique best hit from the different alignments:	785277
    Mapping efficiency:	78.5%
    
    Sequences with no alignments under any condition:	114820
    Sequences did not map uniquely:	99903
    Sequences which were discarded because genomic sequence could not be extracted:	0
    
    Number of sequences with unique best (first) alignment came from the bowtie output:
    CT/CT:	394212	((converted) top strand)
    CT/GA:	390840	((converted) bottom strand)
    GA/CT:	116	(complementary to (converted) top strand)
    GA/GA:	109	(complementary to (converted) bottom strand)

    You can go by those results and declare it to be strand-specific. In my experience, at least, that's more common than unstranded datasets too.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
