Identification of two atypical minke whales captured in the Northeast Atlantic based upon exclusion (i.e., probability) and direct assignment (i.e., closest match).

Atl  =  B.a. acutorostrata, Pac  =  B.a. scammoni, Ant  =  B. bonaerensis, Atl x Ant and Pac x Ant  =  simulated F1 hybrids. Whale 2*  =  individuals genotype changed for two loci according to potential genotyping irregularities (Supplementary Table 1). Loci refers to number of microsatellite DNA loci included in the statistical analyses.
