Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a method for improving at least one phenotypic trait of interest in subsequent generation(s) of a population of individuals, preferably crop plants or cattle. Particularly, the method identifies the combination of at least three individuals that gives, upon subsequent intercrossing, the highest estimated probability of improving the at least one phenotypic trait of interest in the subsequent generation(s). Also provided is a computer-readable medium comprising instructions for performing the method.
