In parentage assignment by exclusion, using multiple and very polymorphic loci, genotyping errors are a major cause of non-assignment. Using stochastic simulations, we tested the possibility to allow for mismatches at one or more allele as a way to recover assignment power. This was very efficient provided the set of loci used had a high assignment power (> 99%) and the error rate was not too high (below 3-4%). In these cases, most of the theoretical assignment power could be recovered. We also showed the efficiency of the method in a practical experiment with rainbow trout.
