F# Dominant b13, written F#7b13, is built from F#, A#, C#, E and D: the root, major 3rd, 5th, minor 7th and flat 13th.

Its 3rd and 7th, A# and E, are its guide tones: they say what kind of chord it is, so voicings are built around them and the root is often left to the bass. C7, a tritone away, has the same two notes the other way up, so it can stand in for F#7b13 as its tritone substitute.
