Dr. Jeff Yoder graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a B.S. in Biotechnology and performed his graduate work with Dr. Tim Bestor receiving his Ph.D. in Cell and Developmental Biology from Harvard University’s graduate program in Biological and Biomedical Sciences. He then did a post-doc with Dr. Gary Litman at the University of South Florida. Jeff was faculty at the University of South Florida before joined the faculty at NC State University in 2004. Jeff's current research interests are on identifying and characterizing novel mediators of innate immunity. His research employs the zebrafish model to study the genetic and functional evolution of innate immune receptors, for examining the immunotoxicological effects of environmental chemicals, and as a model for identifying novel mediators of immunity. His current studies on the evolution of immune receptors integrates genomic and transcriptomic data from all vertebrate lineages. His current immunotoxicology research employs zebrafish and cell culture models to study the impact of exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on immune function. This research is highly interdisciplinary and includes collaborations with evolutionary biologists, structural biochemists, toxicologists, chemists, engineers and field biologists. His research has been funded by NIH, NIEHS, NSF, MAF, TriCEM and a variety of foundations and agencies.

Phage display and structural studies reveal plasticity in substrate specificity of caspase-3a from zebrafish
Protein Science, 25(11), 2076–2088.
Contributors: M. Tucker n, S. MacKenzie n, J. Maciag n, H. Dirscherl Ackerman, P. Swartz n, n , P. Hamilton n , A. Clay Clark *
author keywords: phage display substrate library; substrate recognition; Danio rerio; apoptosis
MeSH headings : Allosteric Regulation; Animals; Caspase 3 / chemistry; Crystallography, X-Ray; Molecular Dynamics Simulation; Peptide Library; Substrate Specificity; Zebrafish
TL;DR:
The structure of zebrafish Casp3a is determined to 2.28Å resolution by X‐ray crystallography, and the results suggest that a limited number of amino acid substitutions near the active site result in plasticity of the S4 sub‐site by increasing flexibility of one active site loop and by affecting hydrogen‐bonding with substrate.

Immune-Type Diversity in the Absence of Somatic Rearrangement
In Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology (Vol. 248, pp. 271–282).
MeSH headings : Animals; Antibody Diversity; Biological Evolution; Fishes / genetics; Fishes / immunology; Gene Rearrangement; Genes, Immunoglobulin
TL;DR:
The possibility that immune-type diversity is achieved in the absence of somatic rearrangement and that remnants of such systems could be operative in immune recognition in contemporary vertebrates is of extraordinary significance in terms of the authors' overall understanding of the relationships between adaptive and innate immune recognition.

TL;DR:
Dnmt2 is a candidate for the activity that methylates newly integrated retroviral DNA and maintains trace levels of 5-methylcytosine in the DNA of embryonic stem cells homozygous for null mutations in Dnmt1, the gene for the one previously recognized metazoan DNA methyltransferase.

1997 review
Cytosine methylation and the ecology of intragenomic parasites
[Review of ]. TRENDS IN GENETICS, 13(8), 335–340.
MeSH headings : Animals; Cytosine / metabolism; DNA Methylation; DNA Transposable Elements; Gametogenesis; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Mammals / genetics; Neoplasms / genetics; Retroviridae / genetics
TL;DR:
It has become increasingly difficult to hold that reversible promoter methylation is commonly involved in developmental gene control; instead, suppression of parasitic sequence elements appears to be the primary function of cytosine methylation, with crucial secondary roles in allele-specific gene expression as seen in X inactivation and genomic imprinting.
