Q2) Can anyone explain for methe meaning of (~0+f) in > design <- model.matrix(~0+f) "0~f" means that the intercept for your model fit is forced to go through the origin (i.e. 0). Normally when fitting a linear model, the algorithm (be it the normal equation, gradient descent or whatever) will calculate the line of best fit by adjusting both the slope and the intercept of the model. When you force the model through the origin, you estimate the model fit by just adjusting the slope. This is a little difficult to get your head around if you don't have a very solid understanding of statistical modelling. What would be really cool is if the Limma documentation listed some resources that would allow somebody who is coming at Limma from a biology or computer science background to wrap their head around the fundamentals of statistical modelling and really understand what they are doing with the package. Just a suggestion, you guys have of course already done an amazing job with limma and the documentation!! P.S. One very useful resource is Andrew Ng's course on "machine learning" on "coursera", it explains linear models very well indeed. Paul.

For Q2&3 I don't have any better suggestion that re-reading the Limma users guide or some general introductory texts for statistical modelling with R. For Q1, if you really want to test whether the *number of expressed genes* is different between samples (time points) (i.e. not differential expression) and you have no replicates (?) then I don't see what you can do apart from a binomial proportions test. i.e. if the total number of genes in your studied system is 30,000 and the number of genes 'expressed' at each of your three time points was 3100, 3000 and 4000 and you could try: prop.test(c(3000,4000),c(30000,30000)) Which would show you that, yes indeed, 4000/30000 is a significantly higher proportion than 3000/30000, but I'm really not sure if that is what you actually want to do! It's not a common use case and from the rest of your question I suspect there is some confusion with terminology going on (no offense!). Personally, I would say this is one of those times where you would be best served by sitting down with a friendly local expert. -- Alex Gutteridge
