Illumina Sequencing data can provide high coverage of a genome by relatively short (most often 100 bp to 150 bp) reads at a low cost. Even with low (advertised 1%) error rate, 100 × coverage Illumina data on average has an error in some read...
One interesting approach that gave good results in other genome projects - do several cycles of SSPACE / GapCloser/ REAPR (to detect misassemblies and break them). Usually after 4-6 cycles this converge on an optimal assembly and the statistics...

We describe a new algorithm, meraculous, for whole genome assembly of deep paired-end short reads, and apply it to the assembly of a dataset of paired 75-bp Illumina reads derived from the 15.4 megabase genome of the haploid yeast Pichia...
