Regulatory modules are molecules that interact functionally, driving disease processes. Here, we present a protocol for identifying regulatory modules in Parkinson's disease (PD) using cohort-specific microRNA (miRNA) data and Boolean modeling. We describe steps for omics data collection, biomolecule and miRNA target analysis, and Boolean model construction and simulation. We then detail procedures for validation of the model and results. The modules identified using this protocol explain how miRNA-driven mechanisms influence PD progression in disease cohorts. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hemedan et al.1.
