fastp ERROR: igzip: encountered while decompressing file:

Question

Hello,

I have a few fastq.gz files that are returning this error ERROR: igzip: encountered while decompressing file: /path/to/file when using fastp.

Not all of them are causing an error, I have had a google but can't find a solution to this problem.

Any ideas? Thanks! Amy

What does gzip -t file.gz say? You may have corrupted files.

You were correct, thank you! I re downloaded and they were fine. Amy
