The age of sex chromosomes is commonly obtained by comparing the substitution rates of XY gametologs. Coupled with phylogenetic reconstructions, one can refine the origin of a sex chromosome system relative to specific speciation events. However, these approaches are insufficient to determine the presence and duration of ancestral sex chromosome systems that were lost in some species. In this study, we worked with genomic and transcriptomic data from mammals and squamates and analyzed the effect of male mutation bias on X-linked sequences in these groups. We searched for signatures indicating whether monotremes shared the same sex chromosomes with placental mammals or whether pleurodonts and acrodonts had a common ancestral sex chromosome system. Our analyses indicate that platypus did not share the XY chromosomes with placental mammals, in agreement with previous work. In contrast, analyses of agamids showed that this lineage maintained the pleurodont XY chromosomes for several million years. We performed multiple simulations using different strengths of male mutation bias to confirm the results. Overall, our work shows that variations in substitution rates due to male mutation bias could be applied to uncover signatures of ancestral sex chromosome systems.
