I want to use open TG-gates and drugmatrix data to do toxicogenomics analysis. Within the data, there is duplicate or triplicate data for each different dose of different chemicals. I arranged the data as this

               Chem_Name     Class       File_name
         1.    Chem A        toxic       ChemA_01.CEL
         2.    Chem A        toxic       ChemA_02.CEL
         3.    Chem A        toxic       ChemA_03.CEL
         4.    Chem B        toxic       ChemB_01.CEL
         5.    Chem B        toxic       ChemB_02.CEL
          .......
         31.   Chem G       non-toxic    ChemG_01.CEL
         32.   Chem G       non-toxic    ChemG_02.CEL
         33.   Chem G       non-toxic    ChemG_03.CEL   
         35.   Chem H       non-toxic    ChemH_01.CEL
         36.   Chem H       non-toxic    ChemH_02.CEL

May I know 1. How to run arrayQualityMetrics?

  arrayQualityMetrics(expressionset = raw_data, outdir = tempdir(), force = TRUE, 
  do.logtransform = TRUE, intgroup = c(   which factor to use????,    which factor to use???))

2. How to set the model.matrix for Limma? I would like to extract the differentially expressed genes after exposed to toxic chemicals.

It's hard to provide help with the model matrix without knowing what you are trying to test ... I can take a guess, but that doesn't really help anybody: can be you be a bit more explicit?

Also, this looks to will be a pretty straightforward analysis and likely is covered by the many examples outlines in the limma user guide, have you read that yet?
