Final Report/Thesis 2019

Introduction

In 1948, a man was found mysteriously dead on Somerton Beach, Adelaide, South Australia. His identity remains unknown until this day, and the case has been classified as one of Australia’s biggest unsolved mysteries. There was no ID or anything on him that shows a clue on who he actually was.

This project analyses Somerton Man’s DNA file extracted from his hair which has been corrupted. The project aims to investigate the Somerton Man’s DNA with other sample DNA files via computer techniques and biological engineering methods.
