I have the matrix in the following format :

In the above matrix the first column is the list of genes ( 22810) and the corresponding columns correspond to the different promoters ( totally 4 different types) . How would it be possible to find the differentially expressed genes in such a case ??
I wantto use the t- test to identify the DEG's. I know to find the DEG's using the multtest package in R in case of two conditions ( such as control and treatment). But do not know how to proceed with four different types of promoters and identify the DEG's .
