Hi Armon,
Thanks for pointing this out. We always obtain fewer hits than the max seqs parameter for a given e value, so it should not effect our analyses. That note did clarify things, however.

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 workflowshttps://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__academic.oup.com_bioinformatics_advance-2Darticle-2Dabstract_doi_10.1093_bioinformatics_bty833_5106166-3FredirectedFrom-3Dfulltext&d=DwMCaQ&c=c6MrceVCY5m5A_KAUkrdoA&r=gZl-jyQbfCQIs8dZ3FKCzwt0Dm_uEXeB_OX1lbaJOQs&m=UYm6HdKV6A2sDSM4As_fiej7L8YpmP51SazL0xKK6nk&s=xxjthR2H-bAScZs_XczOpCZDWYqU7AmmAetupunFCRo&e=, 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.
