==Conclusions==
The Somerton Man's DNA reference file provided to the project contain 613905 SNPs, but only 2.08% of SNPs that were not empty and were available for DNA analysis. With such low portion of available SNP, limited DNA analysis techniques can be conducted on the file.
Unfortunately, there was no DNA kit that matched with Somerton Man's DNA kit found in GEDmatch database. According to the result of task 2 and task 4, the degradation process would have huge effect on the match results of a human DNA data. And it is impossible to recover Somerton Man's DNA by implementing simple recovery methods such as replacing empty SNPs with random base pairs or homozygous pairs. But if some reliable recovery strategies were introduced which have not been determined yet and allow Somerton Man's DNA to be recovered to more than 60% SNPs, then his relatives may be discovered.
Moreover, the result from task 4 shows that the Somerton Man originated from Europe. To be specific, his ethnicity is about 36.21% North Atlantic and 20.44% Baltic.
As for the genetic disease, 574 diseases were found, but there was no disease found that relates to his known appearance.
So far, that is what the project can find in regards to the Somerton Man's DNA data. There was no clear clue that can lead to his identity. Who the Somerton Man is will still be a mystery.
