[BioC] using the Limma package with matrix data

Markus.

I encourage you to read the limma documentation.  'lmFit', which is  
the command you'll use to fit the linear model, will take several  
class types as input, including a matrix.

In fact, if you look at:

?lmFit

... you'll see that some of the code examples at the bottom operate  
on a matrix of randomly generated numbers for illustration.

Hope that helps.
Mark
