Sample Origin

Someone found a hair in a chicken pie made by the PighHigh meat pie company and made a complaint to the Meat Inspection Division. In a second inspection of the company's premises a second batch of chicken pies were impounded.

Special Instructions

The newspapers are starting to blame us for poor quality products going on sale. We need to demonstrate our competence here!

What is the origin of the hair? Provide strong statistical evidence of your result or we will get charged with incompetence! The owner of this company has friends in high places.

Use a different method with each of the sequences to determine the species of origin.
Report on any irregularities.
