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.
转录因子结合位点(TFBSs)的识别是解读DNA调控密码过程中的第一步。目前有各种各样用于TFBS识别的计算方法和相应的计算机模拟工具,每种方法和工具都有其自身的优缺点。本章提供一个简要教程,以帮助终端用户应用这些工具对基因进行功能表征。
