Abstract excerpt
In the context of a study of wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus, we found that genotypes based on single PCR amplifications of microsatellite loci from single shed hair have a high error rate. We quantified error rates using the comparable results of 791 single shed hair PCR amplifications o...
