The phrase "as a separate cluster" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing data organization, categorization, or grouping in various contexts, such as computing or research.
Example: "The data points were analyzed and categorized as a separate cluster to identify distinct patterns."
Alternatives: "as an individual group" or "as an isolated set".
In our study, Suwałki region was treated as a separate cluster (cluster no. 40) consisting of Augustów, Sejny and Suwałki counties, or as a part of Podlaskie voivodeship.
It starts with each case as a separate cluster, and then combines the clusters sequentially, reducing the number of clusters at each step until only one cluster remains (Aldenderfer & Blashfield 1984).
Because people in a region are more likely to marry and mate with each other--a factor that may be largely due to shared language--that gene pool will evolve as a separate cluster that corresponds to a place on the globe, he explains.
We used hierarchical clustering with the purpose of classify our tasks in accordance with the distances given in the dissimilarity matrix of Figure 2, following an agglomerative algorithm that starts with each task as a separate cluster or branch.
Each class will be defined as a separate cluster.
Each surveillance site was treated as a separate cluster and all women were given equal weight.
Then we used the hierarchical clustering method described in [ 64] to reconstruct the approximated phylogeny of each gene family: (1) Initially, all sequences in the family were treated as a separate clusters.
In Figure 6, species of Stratiomyidae (family belonging to the suborder Orthorrhapha of the order Diptera) form a separate cluster, as well as all species of another suborder, Cyclorrhapha (the families Drosophilidae, Agromyzidae, Tephritidae), with one exception, Bactrocera oleae (Tephritidae).
Three lung samples from critically ill patients also formed a separate cluster as most of the proinflammatory genes were upregulated (cluster 2).
Interestingly, three distinct clones (21, 242 and 509) form a separate cluster as compared to other long-chain neurotoxins and appear to have a completely different phylogenetic origin.
The results from this study demonstrate that TIR-NBS sequences from flax and A. thaliana group in a separate cluster, as observed in a previous phylogenetic analysis of Lolium NBS domains [ 38].
