UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte

[moOsmanMD]

Hello, thank you so much for developing Monopogen.

I get this error when I run the preProcess module. I tried my bam files and also the bam files you provided as example and unfortunately the issue do exist. I also tried it on python 3.8 and python 3.11 however, the issue is not resolved.

for line in f_in:

File "", line 322, in decode UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte

I would be very grateful if you could help me with that Thanks
