Nucleic acid-imaging compositions and methods for noninvasive imaging of a nucleic acid introduced into somatic tissues of an animal or human are disclosed. The noninvasive imaging enables quantitative assessment of the biodistribution of the introduced nucleic acid. The disclosed imaging compounds include a base-binding moiety, a phosphate-binding moiety, and a metal-binding moiety. A chelated metal is non-invasively detected for imaging by radioactivity or magnetic resonance.
