Welcome on U&L! Have you got only two files, or more files likeFile 2to be merged intoFile 1? Should the whole content ofFile 2be added toFile 1? Or a part of it only? Should the content ofFile 2be added after a specific occurrence oftranscr_, or after all of them?

there are three "transcr_" lines in file1; do you want the same 10 lines from file2 after each of those transcr_ lines, or ... subsequent 10 lines from file2 each time, or ???

You could use ed!
ed -s file1 <<< $'2r !head -10 file2nwnq'
This tells ed to edit file1 with three commands:
- on line 2, read in the output of the command
head -10 file2and insert it
write the file out
quit ed
With GNU sed (using the e extension, which pipes input from a shell command):
sed -i '3e head -10 file2' file1
