You're here because you have linked-read data and might want to convert it between different linked-read formats. Many of the conversions available in Djinn work for either FASTQ or BAM files. Djinn also includes other tools for _e.g._ extracting barcodes from linked-read data, sorting by barcodes, etc. Nifty convenience things. ## Convert files Djinn converts between linked-read data formats. It supports: - 10X - haplotagging - stLFR - TELLseq - standard You can convert between these formats in terms of FASTQ type or barcode style. ## NCBI submission NCBI strips out sequence headers from FASTQ submissions, so it would be best to convert your linked-read FASTQ data into an unaligned BAM file, with the linked-read barcode stored in the `BX` or `BC` tag. Djinn provides a convenience function to convert to (or from) this format, although we make no effort to hide the fact it's just one-liner `samtools` commands. :::info Useless trivia The original version of these general functions was written while waiting for repairs at a mechanic shop and it was called `lr-switcheroo`. :::
