# 2015-07-18 First Research Paper Published Facilitated By Labii

Biochemistry research paper [A CRISPR-Based Screen Identifies Genes Essential for West-Nile-Virus-Induced Cell Death](http://www.cell.com/cell-reports/pdfExtended/S2211-1247%2815%2900675-0), authored by Dr. Hongming Ma el al., was published on *Cell Reports*. Facilitated by [Labii](https://www.labii.com/?utm_source=Labii\&utm_medium=Content\&utm_campaign=Blog)'s apps, the paper, IF 8.3, uses a CRISPR-based genomewide knockout screening method to identify seven genes linked to ERassociated degradation (ERAD) as factors involved in West Nile virus (WNV) - induced cell death. [Labii](https://www.labii.com/) aims to facilitate the research of more scientists with their experiments, collaborations, and publications.\

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://blogs.labii.com/customer-stories/2015-07-18-first-research-paper-published-facilitated-by-labii.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
