  "summary": "Bacterial endosymbionts are often unculturable, making sequencing-based approaches essential for their discovery and characterization. Here we developed SYMBIO-SCAN, a dedicated workflow for recovering high-quality nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences of symbionts from long reads, which provided an adequate discriminatory power for identification and for accurate phylogenetic analyses.…",
