One possibility would be to subset your data to only samples from one 
time point and then test cases against control to see the genes that are 
DE at this time point, then go on to the next one. If you consider this 
a post-hoc test and only look at the genes which show overall 
sensitivity, you can probably be more lenient on the significance 
threshold. Maybe other people on the list have input on this point.
