I'm not sure exactly what you want, but try something like
lapply(gene.pair.tf.lst, function(x) if(x$sig.cor) x$gene.pair)
If you only want the non-NULL entries (and how would you know which they
are, given you have duplicates?)
gene.pair.tf.lst <- list(list(gene.pair="Lgals1:Pxmp2", sig.cor=FALSE),
list(gene.pair="Lgals1:Pxmp2", sig.cor=TRUE),
list(gene.pair="Lgals1:Pxmp2", sig.cor=FALSE))
tmp <- lapply(gene.pair.tf.lst, function(x) if(x$sig.cor) x$gene.pair)
tmp[!sapply(tmp, is.null)]
