# 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\(15\)00675-0), 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.\
