Comparison of average absolute (Aga) and relative genotyping accuracy (Rga) estimates among laboratories (%, mean±SD).

Absolute (Aga) and relative (Rga) values for the short tandem repeats (STRs) included in the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) core panel as well as the Canine Genotypes™ Panel Kit 1.1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) using ISAG’s formula for STR typing comparison tests (https://www.isag.us/docs/Rules_CT.pdf?v2).

Aga% = (total number of expected genotypes − genotyping errors including no genotype reported)/total number of genotypes.

Rga% = (the number of genotypes reported − total number of genotype errors excluding blanks)/the number of genotypes reported.
