Exception on differential enrichment

[Mitmischer]

Describe the bug
In order to perform differential enrichment, I wanted to try on a single gene, but gimme crashes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

gimme maelstrom -N120 IFIH1.fasta Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.dna_sm.primary_assembly.fa /tmp/maelstrom_out

IFIH1.fasta is attached: IFIH1.fasta.txt

Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.dna_sm.primary_assembly.fa can be downloaded from
here.

Expected behavior
I expected the program to run in full or to provide a concise error message.

Additional context
As I am new to the software, this might as well be an error on my side (or maybe the statistics just doesn't work out on a single gene) . Still, I think that the error handling/error message should be better!

I am having the same issue. You haven't managed to find a way around this @Mitmischer have you?
Thanks!
