+#### Converting records
+
+Below are some examples of `Bedgraph.Record` conversions provided by this package.
+```julia
+using Bedgraph
+
+record = Record("chr1", 10, 20)
+
+# Convert record to NamedTuple.
+nt = convert(NamedTuple, record)
 
+# Convert record to NamedTuple and rename fields.
+nt = convert(NamedTuple{(:chrom, :left, :right, :value)}, record)
 ```
