MOTIVATION: The dengue virus poses a major global health threat, with nearly 390 million infections annually. A recently proposed hierarchical dengue nomenclature system enhances spatial resolution by defining major and minor lineages within genotypes, aiding efforts to track viral evolution. While current subtyping tools - Genome Detective, GLUE, and NextClade - rely on computationally intensive sequence alignment and phylogenetic inference, machine learning presents a promising alternative for achieving accurate and rapid classification. RESULTS: We present Craft ( CONTACT: danielvanzyl@sun.ac.za. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A supplemental table acknowledging the authors of the GISAID dengue sequences is available at
