thank you lim,
i read the manual and write such coding
but meet an error

> d <- DGEList(counts = d, lib.size = lib_size)
> #normalization
> dge <- calcNormFactors(d)
> rm(d)
>
> fac=factor(c('c0h','c0h','c0h','c24h','c24h','c24h','t0h','t0h','t0h','t6h','t6h','t6h','t6h','t12h','t12h','t12h','t12h','t18h','t18h','t18h','t18h',
+              't24h','t24h','t24h','t36h','t36h','t36h','t48h','t48h','t48h','c6h','c12h','c18h','c36h','c48h'))
> design = model.matrix(~fac)
> colnames(design) <- levels(fac)
> dge <- estimateGLMCommonDisp(dge, design)#
> dge <- estimateGLMTagwiseDisp(dge, design)
> glmfit.dge <- glmFit(dge, design, dispersion=dge$tagwise.dispersion)#
> t0_c0 = makeContrasts("t0h-c0h",levels=design)
> lrt.dge <- glmLRT(dge, glmfit.dge, contrast = t0_c0)
> result <- topTags(lrt.dge, n=dim(dge)[1], adjust.method="BH", sort.by="p.value")
