Using Illumina there is no way one can assemble de-novo HG. We can just map sequenced genome to the known (thanks to HG project) genome.
Nevertheless, it is ok for clinical use, just to remember that what you get is the raw data and you need a lot of computational time to filter, assemble, analyze etc…
