This investigation provides a comprehensive analysis of genomic diversity and selection signatures in Zaobei beef cattle, an indigenous breed known for its adaptation to hot humid climates superior meat quality. Whole-genome resequencing was conducted on 23 compared with 46 Simmental cattle highlight genetic distinctions. Population structure confirmed the uniqueness cattle. Using methods such as DASDC v1.01, XPEHH, θπ ratio, we identified 230, 232, 221 genes through DASDC, including hard sweeps, soft linkage respectively. Coincidentally, 109 were when using XPEHH ratio methods. Together, these analyses revealed eight positive (ARHGAP15, ZNF618, USH2A, PDZRN4, SPATA6, ROR2, KCNIP3, VWA3B), which are linked critical traits heat stress adaptation, fertility, Moreover, functional enrichment showed pathways related autophagy, immune response, energy metabolism, muscle development. The insights gained from this study provide valuable knowledge breeding programs aimed at enhancing beneficial
