Honestly I'm not real familiar with time-course analysis/literature,
or these packages.

In working with some timecourse data in the past, I was looking at
differentially expressed genes between each time point compared with
time-0.

I'm not saying that's the correct thing to do, but if you want to do
that, you can do it with limma and an appropriate contrasts matrix.

Perhaps others can comment who have more experience with these analyses.
