Could you build this?
No Canine liquid-biopsy cancer detection requires wet-lab cell-free DNA sequencing, methylation assays, validated classifiers, and veterinary clinical validation. It also involves regulated diagnostics and proprietary reference data.
What it would actually take: You would need a CLIA-style or veterinary-accredited lab with cfDNA extraction, low-depth whole-genome or methylation sequencing, and a trained multi-cancer classifier built on large labeled canine datasets. Clinical validation, veterinary regulatory approval, and sample-collection logistics are also required. None of this is a software problem a vibe-coded app can address.
