Abstract
Abstract Chemical modification of nucleic acids in living cells can be sterically hindered by tight packing of bioorthogonal functional groups in chromatin. To address this limitation, we report here a dual enhancement strategy for nucleic acid‐templated reactions utilizing a fluorogenic intercalating agent capable of undergoing inverse electron‐demand Diels–Alder (IEDDA) reactions with DNA containing 5‐vinyl‐2′‐deoxyuridine (VdU) or RNA containing 5‐vinyl‐uridine (VU). Reversible high‐affinity intercalation of a novel acridine–tetrazine conjugate “PINK” ( K D =5±1 μM) increases the reaction rate of tetrazine–alkene IEDDA on duplex DNA by 60 000‐fold (590 M −1 s −1 ) as compared to the non‐templated reaction. At the same time, loss of tetrazine–acridine fluorescence quenching renders the reaction highly fluorogenic and detectable under no‐wash conditions. This strategy enables live‐cell dynamic imaging of acridine‐modified nucleic acids in dividing cells.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
