Abstract: For $Lambda$-$n$-coalescents with mutation, we analyse the size $O_n$ of the partition block of $iin1,ldots,n$ at the time where the first mutation appears on the tree that affects $i$ and is shared with any other $jin1,ldots,n$. We provide asymptotics of $O_n$ for $noinfty$ and a recursion for all moments of $O_n$ for finite $n$. This variable gives an upper bound for the minimal clade size [2], which is not observable in real data. In applications to genetics, it has been shown to be useful to lower classification errors in genealogical model selection [10].
