There has been a recent thread on this list about doing a "proper"
timecourse analysis w/ limma using splines -- this thread resulted in
Gordon adding an additional section to the limma user's guide on how
to do so.

I wonder if you couldn't just use limma::voom to hammer your data into
a limma-workable-object and just do the timecourse analysis as
suggested w/ the microarray data?

HTH,
