I’ve grasped you, strider !A. Khila, group leader of "Genomics for Development and Evolution" team, in collaboration with McGill and Toronto universities, has shown that, in a semi-aquatic insect, the specialization of the male antennae into hook allows it to grip and therefore to resist female attempts to reject him during premating struggles, ensuring transmission of his genes to future generations. This elegant and comprehensive study was published in "Science" of this month.

Presentation of the IGFL
The Institute for Functional Genomics of Lyon (IGFL) was established on 1 January 2007 as a joint research unit between the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, CNRS and Université Lyon 1. INRA is associated as a unit under contract (USC).
Research topics at the institute involves analysis of the role of the genome in the development, operation and evolution of biological systems organized. The conceptual and methodological approaches rely heavily on those of functional genomics, integrative biology and comparative genomics. The research issues addressed in the institute involves the biology of reproduction, embryonic development and post-embryonic morphogenesis, nervous system development, oncogenic transformation and molecular evolution. The applications of this fundamental research are planned in missions of IGFL in biomedical, biotechnology and agronomy.
Currently, IGFL consists of 11 research teams comprising about 120 people. Most of teams are located at the ENS. Ultimately, the IGFL must move to a new laboratory surface under construction on the ENS campus.
