Unix itself does not use arrays. However, some shell scripting languages such as bash or ksh have simple rudimentary uses of a singly dimensioned array.

If you want anything multi-dimensional or special use such as associative arrays, then you need a scripting language such as perl, or awk or python, etc.

What is difference between Bac arrays and DNA arrays?

BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) arrays are a type of DNA arrays. BAC arrays are usually used for a technique called array CGH (Comparative Genomic Hybridisation) which is used to identify gross deletions or amplifications in DNA (which for example is common in cancer). DNA arrays include BAC arrays but also oligo, cDNA, and promoter arrays. Oligo and cDNA arrays are typically used for gene expression analysis (looking to see how heavily expressed each gene is). Oligo arrays can also be used for SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) analysis. Promoter arrays are used to identify transcription factor binding sites.
