update how to define a sequencing experiment in validator

[YalanBi]

add two new rules:

• ending with "-C" to include “Capture-C” and “Hi-C”
• an exception for “CUT&RUN”, which we would like to add to AE experiment types in the future

I think the regular expression isn't properly formatted. It can only have / at the start and end, or?
Should be /seq|-C$|CUT&RUN/i this?

[YalanBi]

Thank you Anja for checking! I couldn't test the changes by running the whole script, so I made an array object and for each item tested with regular expression in that way. It was working well.
But if we don't require "ending with '-C' (capital letter) and 'CUT&RUN' (all capital letters), I can definitely change to how you suggest. I also tested in your way, and it was working as well.

Hi @YalanBi, I found one more experiment type we should cover: "spatial transcriptomics by high-throughput sequencing". So anything ending in seq or sequencing makes sense.

[YalanBi]

Good morning @anjaf! If we want to include "spatial transcriptomics by high-throughput sequencing” only (“spatial transcriptomics” not included), it will be spotted by searching “having seq” - no more changes needed.

Should I change to this way as you suggested?

Hi @YalanBi , you're right, I realised later that anything "sequencing" is already covered.
Yes, please update the regex as suggested.

Alright, @anjaf! It's done!
