This review is a brief outline of the chronology and essence of early events in bioinformatics, covering the period from 1869 (discovery of DNA by Miescher) to 1980-1981 (beginning of massive sequencing). For the purpose of this review, bioinformatics is understood as a chapter of molecular biology dealing with the amino acid and nucleotide sequences and with the information they carry.
