I'm lost... model selection, criteria,

Hi all,

I'm not a bioinformatic nor a biologist, I'm doing my master in biodiversity and my master Thesis is DNA barcoding in a native plant genus.

My question is HOW I chose a model of evolution? I run jModetTest and now I'm confused about what criterion (AIC, AICc, BIC, DT) I must select?

My data sets is not big, about 90 to 100 sequences each.

Thanks

I have read this but anyway thank you very much...

Your problem is not clear from your question "how I chose a model". If you're asking "how do I run the software", the tutorial provided by Alice looks like the answer. If you're asking "how do I choose which model to use, what is the theoretical basis of the models, which is best" - well, that is something you should be learning as part of your course and you should talk to your advisor about it.
