You can try analyse your data using MaSigPro package.
It compares treatment profiles, draws plots of profiles and also
clusters data.
It don't give you contrasts between time points, but compare whole
time
profiles.
Personally I don't use it for clustering, I tried pvclust R package
but
most probably I'll use JMP Genomics for this. Nevertheless I strongly
recommend MaSigPro.
