doing a differential analysis will not make any sense statistically. But, I was still interested as a
biologist to figure this out. Any suggestion to how I should go ahead with the same?.

(1) RMA normalize
(2) get the `exprs()`
(3) Calculate the log fold change between your two samples
(4) look at genes/probes with highest abs() of value from step 3
(5) Verify any claims from step 4 with an independent assay.
