Thanks for your quick reply, Eric.

I want plot colnames(n) as string on x-axis. If the regression lines don't 
fit the data very well, it is OK, the plot is only for quality check.

If I've correctly interpreted what you want, you first need to get the x values:

x <- colnames(n)
x <- as.numeric(substr(x, 1, nchar(x) - 1))

Then it seems fairly easy to use matplot to get the values with
different colors for each concentration

dim(x) <- c(length(x), 1)
matplot(x, t(n), pch = 1)

But this does not look like a simple line will fit the data for each
gene well, so perhaps I've misunderstood something. You will have to
decide how you want to do the regression. It will also get very messy
and difficult to read with 20 lines (a different regression for each
gene). To do the regressions, plot the lines, and label with the gene
ID, see

?lm
?predict
?abline
?text
