This is claimed over and over again:

JP dinosaurs aren't real dinos

I think this BS. Both from a scientific perspective as a story perspective.

Story: In first film Grant saw the Brach as evidence that its prehistoric counterpart was endothermal. He said his profession was extinct multiple times. In TLW Sarah Harding wanted to use the InGen dinosaurs to make scientific claims about prehistoric dinosaurs. The first to claim that the JP dinos are fakes was Alan Grant in JP3. However, the JP-raptors were able to vocalize, as his theory predicted. Showing that he was wrong.

Science: Henry Wu used DNA from frogs. But logically he only used DNA sequences that are conserved throughout evolution. Genetic research has shown that chromosomes of all vertebrates are not that different from each other. A large part of the human chromosomes contain many regions that are identical to frog chromosomes. The Z-chromosome is almost identical in Turtles and basal Birds. Wu wouldn't have bothered to sequence the dinosaurian Z-chromosome but just used the turtle/bird Z-chromosome. This doesn't change the animal. Scientists once replaced and eye gene of a fruit fly with an eye gene of a mouse. The fly got normal fly eyes with that mouse gene.

And even if the InGen-dinosaurs ended up with DNA fragments that the prehistoric-Dinosaurs didn't have, WHY wouldn't that make them dinosaurs? and his children have a human gene in their genome. But scientists didn't gave it a new species name because of it. Transgene animals always hold the species name of their "natural" counterpart.
