A model of Chr VR subtelomere formation in CB4856. The CB4856 ancestor underwent telomere crisis, and two sequential telomere-damage repair events, one using ALT and the other using BIR, formed new subtelomeres. Finally, the duplicated block end was repaired by telomerase, ending with at least 3-kb-long telomeric repeats.
