EBseq manual recommends heatmap for DE visualisation.

heatmap.2(NormalizedMatrix[GenesOfInterest,], scale="row", trace="none", Colv=F)

The normalized matrix may be obtained from GetNormalizedMat() function.

Can someone explain, what is the "[GenesOfInterest]" here.. Is it a file containing list of differentially expressed genes?

Given how it is written I would think that it is subsetting the matrix to keep only genes that are of interested. Subsetting matrices in R is done with the syntax matrix[rows, columns], if 'rows' or 'columns' are left empty all rows/columns are returned. It could hence be a vector with True/False values or a numeric vector with the row numbers corresponding to the genes of interested. If your 'NormalizedMatrix' has row names it could also be a vector with names that you would like to generate a heatmap for.

Yes, my 'NormalizedMatrix' has row names.
These are my files:
The count matrix from RSEM is "Rsemcount"

"671H.genes.results" "86302H.genes.results" "11015D.genes.results""671D.genes.results" "86302D.genes.results"

heatmap.2(NormData[GenesOfInterest,], scale="row", trace="none", Colv=F)
Error in NormData[GenesOfInterest, ] : invalid subscript type 'list'

I tried read.list to read the DE genes list but the function is not found. I am new to RNASeq and R. Please, help me how to use row names as vectors for my DE gene list.

Your GenesOfInterest is not a vector, it is a data.frame that you created with the read.table function. You have to supply a vector to subset your matrix. In this case the data.frame is only one column wide, which means that it consists of a single vector.

So your last command should be

heatmap.2(NormData[GenesOfInterest[,1],], scale = "row, trace = "none", Colv = F)

This forum is mainly to support the packages distributed via bioconductor and answer question related to them. Since your questions is more about general R usage and not actually about any package that is part of bioconductor you have to try to read up on R on your own or find other fora that are better suited for those type of questions.

Good luck!
