[GenoMax]

Did not work because your search string (pattern) does not seem to be present in example posted above?

[sherafzalk769]

I think LOCUS* is present in the gff file. Do you think it is not enough or not a complete pattern?

[GenoMax]

Entries in the file contain the word CALMAC before _LOCUS. So you will need to adjust your search patterns or not use -w option.
