Dear Sermsawat,
Yes, see the entry for edgeR in:
http://www.bioconductor.org/news/bioc_2_9_release/
which says
"A choice of rejection regions is now implemented for exactTest, and the
default is changed from one based on small probabilities to one based on
doubling the smaller of the tail probabilities. This gives better results
than the original conditional test when the dispersion is large
(especially > 1). A Beta distribution approximation to the tail
probability is also implemented when the counts are large, allowing
exactTest() to be much faster and use less memory."
Best wishes
Gordon
