How many genetic markers to tag an individual? An empirical assessment of false matching rates among close relatives.

Ecological applications : a publication of the Ecological Society of America - 1 Apr 2011

Abstract excerpt

Genetic identification of individuals is now commonplace, enabling the application of tagging methods to elusive species or species that cannot be tagged by traditional methods. A key aspect is determining the number of loci required to ensure that different individuals have non-matching multi-locus genotypes. Closely related individuals are of particular concern because of elevated matching probabilities caused...
