 ## Adding paths to a config file
 Specifying long paths every time you run the pipeline is a pain.
 To make this easier, the pipeline comes configured to understand reference genome keywords which correspond to preconfigured paths, meaning that you can just specify `--genome ID` when running the pipeline.

 Note that this genome key can also be specified in a config file if you always use the same genome.
