Hello everybody,

I will appreciate it if you let me know about the existence of a Julia package for counting graphlets or motifs in a graph.

All the best,

Graphs.jl have an experimental implementation of VF2 for counting subgraph isomorphisms (induced for graphlets and non induced for motifs).

```julia
using Graphs.Experimental
? count_induced_subgraphisomorph
? count_subgraphisomorph

```

As it is experimental, there might be bugs, I have never tested it.

Thank you so much!
