[BioC] multiple groups time course RNA Seq LIMMA

[Gordon K Smyth]

Dear Riba,

The advice given in Section 9.6.2 of the User's Guide will still work fine 
even when Group as more than two levels.

Just type colnames(fit) and it will be obvious which coefficients 
correspond to which experimental group.

Yes, you could use contrast.fit() if you wish, but there seems to me to be 
no reason to do so.

Best wishes
Gordon
