[Genome] can we set a maximum score upper bound for BLAT

There is no maxScore.
People typically use pslReps and pslCDnaFilter
to post-filter blat psl results.
However all of these are aimed at finding
the best quality matches.  Lower-scoring alignments
are typically plentiful, and people usually are trying
to filter them OUT.

I think you could write a simple script that would
look at coverage and percent identity and you could
filter out for example exact matches.

Good luck!
