Words that rhyme with Genome
Take genome apart phonetically and the bones are these: two-syllable, vowel on the long /oส/, ending that hums to a nasal close. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: the strict-rhyme column is bounded, the family-rhyme list contributes ear-friendly slants, the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. Take the lyric role separately and it's a low-register anchor. Treat family rhymes as a continuation of the strict column rather than as slant matches.

Why genome rhymes the way it does
Genome is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the long /oส/, then it rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 32 matches, family rhymes 140, additive and subtractive together 288, assonance 4,923, and consonance 570. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Genome is a word that benefits from the second pass.
