Welcome to the Dowell lab at the University of Colorado in the Department of MCD Biology.
Our research focuses on developing informative, mechanistic models that unravel biologically meaningful information from a few individuals and limited reference information. We leverage comparative information to better understand both the diverse roles that non-coding transcripts play within the cell and the impact of variation on phenotype between closely related individuals.
