The Rabl configuration in telophase can influence telomere juxtaposition. Shown is a model suggesting how the Rabl organization of chromosomes in late anaphase and telophase might influence telomere–telomere clustering into perinuclear foci in interphase. The drawing indicates how arm length and metacentricity lead to late anaphase juxtaposition. An unknown sequence- or structure-recognizing factor may further promote interaction between Tel6R and Tel6L.
