Machine learning has many applications in biology and medicine. However, most existing tools require substantial programming skills, which can be a challenge to many biologists. Here, we present BactClass as a command-line tool for machine learning algorithms on formatted data, aiming to reduce the challenges faced by biologists who are interested to use machine learning approaches.
