The recognition of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) is the first step on the way to deciphering the DNA regulatory code. A large variety of computational approaches and corresponding in silico tools for TFBS recognition are available, each having their own advantages and shortcomings. This chapter provides a brief tutorial to assist end users in the application of these tools for functional characterization of genes.
