Microarray data analysis

Can any one help me perform clustering and gene enrichment analysis.

I had discovered my differential gene expression list using these commands

targets <- readTargets("targets.txt")
f <- function(x) as.numeric(x$Flags > -50)
RG <- read.maimages(targets,source="genepix", columns=list(R="F635 Median",G="F532 Median"),wt.fun=f)
RG$genes <- readGAL()
RG.b <- backgroundCorrect(RG, method="normexp", offset=50)
MA <- normalizeWithinArrays(RG.b)
biolrep <- c(1, 1, 2, 2)
design <- c(1, -1, 1, -1)
library (statmod)
corfit <- duplicateCorrelation(MA, design, ndups = 1, block = biolrep)
fit <- lmFit(MA, design, block = biolrep, cor = corfit$consensus)
fit <- eBayes(fit)
fit2 <- topTable(fit,  number=600, adjust = "BH", p.value=0.05, lfc=2)
head(fit2)

So please I want to cluster my data and draw heatmap then perform gene enrichment analysis

Note This data was a time course experiment

In general, I would use heatmap.2 for heatmaps (using the normalized expression values for the differentially expressed probes) and web-based tools (like GATHER, DAVID, FuncAssociate, etc.) for functional enrichment (GO, KEGG, etc).

However, for the functional enrichment, you will need some sort of standard nomenclature (typically official gene symbols), and I don't see anything like that I recognize. You could try to figure this out, but it looks like you already have GO mappings in your annotations. So, if it was me, I'd probably manually count the relevant statistics to do the hypergeometric or Fisher Exact test manually.

As for the heatmap, I'm not sure what is the most efficient strategy to get a heatmap from your limma result, but this is what I found with a quick Google search:
