Many computers or computer clusters that are used in the analysis for large (omics) dataset run Unix as opposed to Windows. Therefore, basis knowledge of Unix provides the biomedical researcher with the skills to access and use powerful computer systems and tools that have been developed for Unix and are used on a routine basis in bioinformatics, biostatistics and e-Science.
