Confirm that use of BLAST's -max_target_seqs is intentional #1

Description

@armish

Hi there,

This is a semi-automated message from a fellow bioinformatician. Through a GitHub search, I found that the following source files make use of BLAST's -max_target_seqs parameter:

Based on the recently published report, Misunderstood parameter of NCBI BLAST impacts the correctness of bioinformatics workflows, there is a strong chance that this parameter is misused in your repository.

If the use of this parameter was intentional, please feel free to ignore and close this issue but I would highly recommend to add a comment to your source code to notify others about this use case. If this is a duplicate issue, please accept my apologies for the redundancy as this simple automation is not smart enough to identify such issues.

Thank you!
