No.
@luc is referring to DISCOVAR DeNovo which is an assembler meant for large genomes. It *requires* 2 x 250 bp reads which currently can only be produced by suitably equipped HiSeq 2500 (in the amount needed, so MiSeq practically does not count).
On a different note, DISCOVAR DeNovo also needs ~1 TB(+) of RAM to function well (e.g. you are going to use 500 million reads for assembly). You read that right!
