Naomi,
The limma package fits an ANOVA with an adjusted denominator, based on
an empirical Bayes procedure. Literature describing the procedure can
be found here: http://www.statsci.org/smyth/pubs/ebayes.pdf
Best,

I would use ANOVA (lm or lme) followed by a contrast. It would
likely be
better to adjust the denominator (like SAM) but I don't think there is
any
software for this (or literature on exactly how to do it). So,
probably
the best thing for now is to treat this as a 1-way ANOVA with say a
Bonferroni correction (for each gene). Once you have the
Bonferroni-corrected p-values, you use FDR to determine an appropriate
p-value to select genes.
