Hi, I have pair end illumina RNA seq data, each sample was ran on 2 lanes. What is the best way to process data of this kind? Do I just combine the rawdata or I process them separately?

Depends on your computation environment more than anything I'd say. Sometimes its nice to run the alignment in parallel at the same time, one lane at a time, or certain steps are to memory intensive for you enviroment if you put them all together. Sometimes worth testing both to see what works best for you. For instance if you use BWA to align and Samtools I'm not sure which is faster;
cat lanes together
bwa aln, sam generation
samtools sam-->bam, sort, index
or
run lanes separate (2 at a time if you can) with
bwa aln, sam generation
samtools sam-->bam, sort, merge, index
so in that example it is a question of if you can run in parallel or not?, do you have enough resources to sort all the lanes together, is samtools merge of parallel runs faster than aln all at once.
My guess is that running in parallel is much faster if you have the resources to do this, which most standard boxes purchased in the last year (dual hexa-core systems with at least 16Gb ram) should be able to do at least 2 lanes at a time easily

During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...-

The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...-
