Mean allelic error rates are also given, calculated across individual laboratory errors for each locus; n number of laboratories genotyping each locus, locus repeat type (di dinucleotide, tetra tetranucleotide), No. of alleles: number of alleles observed in baseline laboratories for each locus in the control plates. (C) Allelic error rates split by geographic region, error rates in bold indicate loci not subject to size-shift errors
