Dear Chen, You need not to look for any other packages. Since, you do not have any replicates, do not fit linear model, instead just do normalization with in arrays and look at the M (log ratio) values.

I have tried LIMMA package, but LIMMA gave the error message "no residual degrees of freedom in linear model fits" and stopped. My guess is that my data has no replicates in the experiment. Is there any other packages I can use to find differentially expressed genes which does not require replicates in the experiment? Thanks for your help.
