Actually the design of my study is a little bit more complex:
I have more than 2 time points and i want to model time as a continous
variable. I have 4 tissues and 2 mouse types.
Questions:
1. How could I find the the genes that significantly change over time
separately in each tissue?
2. How could I statistically compare the slopes over time of the same
gene between 2 or more tissue?
