it's not referring to nucleotides but to gene/transcript names (eg the second one is _B-T) which would already not fit your regex.
AND: always be careful when using the -i flag !
Please I would like to find out how to remove "-T" from the name in my GFF3 file
i have pasted a sample
For example I will like the ID ID=C1_00010W_A-T to become ID=C1_00010W_A in otherwords the ID section to match the Parent section

sed 's:\([ACGT]\)-[ACGT]:\1:g' my_file.gff3
This searches for all occurances of nucleotide1-nucleotide2 and reduces it to nucleotide1
You can use the -i flag for sed to do the replacement in-place.
edit: It appears that the characters that you want to remove are not always nucleotide characters. But it seems that they are always upper-case. The following replaces all occurances of upper_case1-upper_case2 with upper_case1:
sed 's/\([[:upper:]]\)-[[:upper:]]/\1/g' my_file.gff3
it's not referring to nucleotides but to gene/transcript names (eg the second one is _B-T) which would already not fit your regex.

Please use the formatting bar (especially the

codeoption) to present your post better. I've done it for you this time.Thank you!
I'm not sure that's valid according to the GFF3 specs? (ID should be unique ?)
