Draft Genome Assembly of Root Knot Nematode, <i>Meloidogyne fallax</i>

<i>Meloidosgyne fallax</i> (false Columbia root knot nematode) is an invasive crop pest recorded across Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania. Here we present the draft genome assembly of <i>M. fallax</i> which was de novo assembled and scaffolded using <i>M. chitwoodi</i> (Columbia root knot nematode), a close relative of <i>M. fallax</i>.
