Adaptive telomere failure model. The adaptive telomere failure hypothesis suggests that limited telomere (triangles) failure can trigger BIR-events at subtelomeric homologous or homeologous sequence (a and A boxes), potentially leading to contingency gene loss (box b), duplication (box C), or chimeric gene product formation (box a/A). Asterisk indicates a dysfunctional telomere.
