Table 3.
Summary information from the calibration exercise: number of laboratories genotyping each locus; the number of laboratories sharing identical bin sets (numbers separated by commas indicate different bin sets shared, e.g. 2,2 = bin set 1 shared by two laboratories; bin set 2 shared by two other laboratories); maximum allelic size difference between different bin sets; presence/absence of a size-shift

aAlternative primer designs by one laboratory, thus these values do not represent ‘true’ allelic size differences observed between laboratories
