Relationship between size of simulated datasets and the occurrence of non-unique profiles. Thirteen 1000 Genomes Project populations were simulated [20]. Datasets were simulated as described in Methods. With increasing dataset size, the probability of repeat profiles increases. Only populations with a sample size of >50 individuals in the dataset were simulated. Additional populations are Americans of African ancestry in Southwest USA (ASW), Columbians from Medellin, Colombia (CLM), Finnish in Finland (FIN), British in England and Scotland (GBR), Luhya in Webuye, Kenya (LWK), Mexican ancestry from Los Angeles, USA (MXL), Puerto Ricans from Puerto Rico (PUR) and Toscany in Italia (TSI).
