CPUs have to be more versatile, but GPUs were specialized at running these kinds of processes in parallel, enabling the actual mathematics that's happening in the background to execute faster.
One biological sample might be used to generate many kinds of "big" data in parallel, such as genome sequence (genomics), patterns of gene and protein expression (transcriptomics and proteomics), and metabolite concentrations and fluxes (metabolomics).

As sequencing costs have come down it has been possible to sequence multiple isolates of the same species in parallel, these kinds of projects present additional challenges for the bioinformatican in terms of managing the numbers of files and comparing results of de novo assemblies across isolates.

As Wittgenstein puts it at (PG 461), "the mistake in the set-theoretical approach consists time and again in treating laws and enumerations (lists) as essentially the same kind of thing and arranging them in parallel series so that one fills in gaps left by the other".
