Preface The aim of this volume is to provide a definitive source for molecular and cellular biology protocols to study erythropoiesis. The target audience is molecular biologists, biochemists, and geneticists who are studying erythropoiesis. The methods span the mouse, human, and zebrafish systems, because comparing model systems has historically provided a comprehensive approach to erythropoiesis. Red blood cells are the stuff of life, so it is natural that erythropoiesis has been an active area of inquiry for centuries. Yet questions remain, and many of these have clinical relevance to anemia conditions. How does hemoglobin switching occur, and can the
