The loss of all three repressive mechanisms has a major impact on spermatogonial populations inclusive of spermatogonial stem cells, with the loss of all germ cells observed in a high portion of seminiferous tubules.

Physiological barriers to pol II elongation, such as repressive chromatin structure, can thereby similarly impact splicing decisions.
