The Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) technology determines the expression level of a gene by measuring the frequency of a sequence tag derived from the corresponding mRNA transcript. Several statistical tests have been developed to detect significant differences in tag frequency between two samples. However, which one of these tests has the greatest power to detect real changes remains undetermined.
