Selection and prioritization of extracellular tumour-derived genes Candidate extracellular tumour-derived genes were identified using a stepwise filtering and prioritization strategy integrating single-cell transcriptomic analyses, protein subcellular localization annotations, functional dependency data, domain-based functional annotation and literature-based curation (Extended Data Fig. 1a). Publicly available scRNA-seq datasets from human14 and mouse15 PDAC were independently analysed. Within each

Ukraine data collection For our analyses of building destruction during the Ukraine war, we draw on three existing datasets. War damage data We use war-related damage data from ref. 9, which identifies probable damage across Ukrainian human settlements between March 2022 and October 2023. This dataset was generated using a coherent change detection framework applied to Sentinel-1
