Funding Acknowledgements

We are grateful to all the patients who contributed their tumour specimens. We thank the computing center of the University of Cologne (RRZK) for providing the CPU time on the DFG-funded supercomputer 'CHEOPS', as well as for the support. We thank S. Artavanis-Tsakonas and S. Fre for the gift of the mice with inducible NICD expression. We thank C. Nguyen, J. Berg, J. Heuckmann, F. Malchers, C. Lovely and A. Bernschein for scientific discussions and advice. We thank Genentech/gRED for providing raw sequencing data from a previously published study<SUP>3</SUP>. Some tumors in these studies were provided by the LungBiobank Heidelberg, member of the NCT-Tissue bank, the biomaterial bank Heidelberg and the biobank platform of the German Center for Lung Research, Heidelberg, Germany. This work was supported by the German Cancer Aid (Deutsche Krebshilfe) as part of the small cell lung cancer genome sequencing consortium (grant ID: 109679 to R.K.T., M.P., R.B., P.N., M.V. and S.A.H.).
