What is the cut-off to determine the methylation level (hypo and hypermethylation) in Pyrosequencing?

Dear All, I am trying to validate my Microarray data (450k chip) using Pyrosequencing. The biggest challenge is how to designate the CpG sites as hypomethylated or hypermethylated? Is there a...

Does anyone have a suggestion for techniques to use (other than Pyroseq) to validate a CpG site? Which is more sensitive; MSP or COBRA?

I am aware that Pyro is the gold standard to validate a methyaltion study. However, it has restrictions like it can read up to 70-100 bp only. So, if I want to do Methylation specific PCR which is...
