We present a genome assembly of the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis drosophilae (Nematoda; Chromadorea; Rhabditida; Rhabditidae). The genome sequence is 51.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into six chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.15 kilobases in length.
