Description

Some end users that are not familar with bioinformatics might use long query sequence (>1Mb DNA sequences). Usually this is meaningless and instead would take long running time. It is better if we can set additional limitations for long query sequence when setting up this server.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the server configuration files and the query validation logic to implement additional limitations for long query sequences (>1Mb). Look for where the query sequence length is checked and consider adding a configurable limit.
