We found that prolonged immersion of snap frozen mouse carcass in 10% neutral buffered formalin at 4°C yielded minimal microscopic signs of ice crystallization and delivered tissues with histomorphology that is optimal for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and fixation on glass slides. An omics-pathology integration approach could be the most effective for phenometo-genome interpretation if omics assays are conducted using the particular tissue specimen, where injury signatures are informed by histopathology image analysis (Pathak and Dave, 2014; Yu et al., 2017) . These snap-frozen carcasses had to undergo onground freeze-thaw cycles before tissue collection, which is typically expected to compromise overall sample quality and make the histopathologic analysis challenging (Lyons et al., 1979; Pikal-Cleland et al., 2000) . ./cache/cord-315054-kji2kfek.txt ./txt/cord-315054-kji2kfek.txt
