I wanted to add a line which has the same contents as line of assumption but change in ID value.
(ddint want to remove the already existing line. )
I hope its not confusing.

Thanks a lot though.
I am not sure I understand what you mean. The 2nd command does not replace but adds a "predictive" line:

Code:
$ sed 's/\(.*\)assumption\(.*\)\(ID=[^.]*\)[^;]*\(;.*\)/\1predictive\2\3\4\
&/' file
sorce1       LEN   predictive   695     3570    0.770047        -       .       ID=f000001;source_id=A.off_LEN_10008424;
sorce1       LEN   assumption   695     3570    0.770047        -       .       ID=f000001.1;source_id=A.off_LEN_10008424;
sorce1       LEN   descriptive     3334    3570    .       -       0       Parent=f000001.1;
sorce1       LEN   extra     913     993     .       -       0       Parent=f000001.1;
sorce1       LEN   descriptive     695     736     .       -       0       Parent=f000001.1;

sorce1       LEN   predictive    8859    11328   0.628724        +       .       ID=f000002;source_id=A.off_LEN_10008425;
sorce1       LEN   assumption    8859    11328   0.628724        +       .       ID=f000002.1;source_id=A.off_LEN_10008425;
sorce1       LEN   descrptive     8859    9032    .       +       0       Parent=f000002.1;

sorce1       LEN   predictive    24331   34483   1       -       .       ID=f000003;source_id=A.off_LEN_10008426;part_support_id=CUFF1.1.1;
sorce1       LEN   assumption    24331   34483   1       -       .       ID=f000003.1;source_id=A.off_LEN_10008426;part_support_id=CUFF1.1.1;
sorce1       LEN   extra     34479   34483   .       -       0       Parent=f000003.1;
$

The command uses two lines the first line ends with a \ as the last character on the line.

Some sed's may be able to do this:
Code:
sed 's/\(.*\)assumption\(.*\)\(ID=[^.]*\)[^;]*\(;.*\)/\1predictive\2\3\4\n&/' file

awk version:
Code:
awk '
  $3=="assumption"{
    split($NF,F,/[.;]/)
    $0=$0 ORS $0
    sub($3, "predictive")
    sub(F[1]"\."F[2], F[1])
  }
  1
' file
