Mix globbing and wildcards when specifying rule input
A nice solution comes from a colleague of mine, as seen in this Snakemake workflow. The trick is to access the wildcards programmatically using an anonymous (lambda) function. In my example above, it would be implemented as follows.

rule preprocess:
    input: lambda wildcards: glob('sample-{samp}/*.fastq'.format(samp=wildcards.samp))
    output: '{samp}-clean.fastq'
    shell: 'mypreproccmd {input} &gt; {output}'
