While there may be just under 20,000 confirmed protein coding genes, it turns out that much of the genome outside of these genes is also important in regulating how the genome is controlled. Bioinformatic techniques are then used to piece together the reads into a continuous genomic sequence by aligning them to the reference human genome.
