Background:

The infinitely-many-site model is a fundamental framework in population genetics.
Understanding gene genealogical trees is crucial for inferring evolutionary history.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the distribution of gene genealogical trees.
To analyze the impact of known mutation age ordering on tree structure.
To present a computational approach for calculating tree probabilities.

Main Methods:

Utilizing the infinitely-many-site model.
Incorporating known relative age ordering of mutations (nodes).
Developing and discussing a recursive computational implementation.

Main Results:

The paper addresses the probability distribution of genealogical trees under specific conditions.
A computational method is presented for age-labeled and unlabeled nodes.

Conclusions:

The study provides insights into gene tree distributions within a key population genetics model.
The developed computational implementation facilitates the analysis of age-structured genealogical data.
