Interpretation of the true state of the genome based on SAGE observations using 10-base tag sequences. Observed data, the published values for unique tags and distribution of copy numbers. Inferred parameters, the true genomic values estimated to correspond to these observations. Predicted data, the simulated observational outcome assuming the genome given in inferred parameters. Note the close correspondence between observed and predicted data. Confidence values are standard errors of the mean for 1000 simulations.
