The rtt109_h_puta* syntax is correct - seqmatchall will read all files that 
match the wildcard.

"seqset" means that all sequences are loaded into memory. It is used for 
all-against-all comparisons and multiple alignment.

The alternative, "seqall", means that sequences are read one at a time. This is 
used for analysing each sequence in a dataset, searching databases, and other 
algorithms where we do not need all the sequences at the same time.

Hope that helps,
