Genetics Selection Evolution converted to OA with BioMed Central this month. See the January 15 announcement. The article-processing charge during 2009 is €750. Authors retain copyright.
Several steps preceded the conversion to OA:
In January 2007, the journal began offering a hybrid OA option to authors.
The journal later adopted a 1-year delayed OA policy for all content (undated).
In September 2007, the journal began offering OA to its backfiles from 1969-1999.
In April 2008, the journal announced it could convert to OA and began processing all submitted manuscripts as OA papers.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
