Research Summary

(inferred from publications by AI)

The researcher has a strong foundation in foregin genetics, utilizing population genetic data derived from STR loci and GlobalFiler PCR amplification for the Saudi Arabian population. Their work extends into bioarchaeology with studies on haplotype analysis of populations in Ghana, employing Yfiler Plus and TaqMan SNP genotyping. Additionally, they explore orthopedic surgery using percutaneous bone assessment techniques to evaluate relationships between homologous and non-homologous bones among Ghanaian tertiary students. Their research integrates genetic data across diverse fields, showcasing a versatile approach to understanding human populations and health conditions.
