How to say that something doesn't get divided?
Solution 1:
“…or there's another concise way of expressing what I've described?”
As a published molecular biologist and native English speaker I would not use “indivisible”, and certainly not “atomic” to describe your clusters. I find it difficult to see why you need to say anything other than something which I would find unambiguous like:
The genes were sorted in two stages. In the first stage each was assigned to a cluster; in the second stage each cluster was assigned to one of two groups.
If you really think you must, you might modify this to something like:
…permanently assigned to a specific cluster…
…each entire cluster was assigned…
However, rather than clarifying the situation I think you risk sowing doubt in the reader’s mind. Why would the reader imagine that a cluster would be split? (Unless there is something that hasn’t been explained in the question.)
