Description
The naming scheme for the "genome" field in the samplesheet is overly strict and forbids using paths containing a slash.
It seems sensible to allow more locations than the current directory, like absolute paths.

Research direction
Start at assets/schema_input.json around line 34 and inspect the validation applied to the samplesheet's genome field. Adjust the schema so paths containing slashes, including absolute paths, are accepted, then run the repository's relevant schema or samplesheet validation to confirm the permitted naming forms.
