The rest is all conjecture. As for the dinosaurs mentioned on the website, presumably that was what they told the public to hide its true identity. The film confrims: T Rex, Velociraptor, Cuttlefish, Tree Frog and Snake were used.

The JW website says: Majungasaurus, Giganotosaurus, Rugops and Carnotaurus were also used not mentioning the above.

The film also seems to hint that there are other sources used that are not revealed that arguably only Dr Wu and his team are aware of so we can't rule out the website plus we know I Rex is bigger than T Rex from the film as Dr Wu has stated it and there is constantly talk of Masrani wanting something bigger, badder, with more teeth for the park and with that knowledge they must have also used something bigger to influence its size such as Giganotosaurus as well as this all the stated animals used in the film lack the distinguishing horns I Rex has which can be found on Carnotaurus and Allosaurus as well as the jaw being similar to Allosaurus and as Spinosaurus999 pointed out Boa's. We also know I Rex is cannibalistic since she ate her sibling which is common in Majungasaurus and hasn't been found in T Rex or Velociraptor. As for Rugops the I Rex's hide has a strong similarity with the bumps along her spine so we also cannot rule that out so I don't think we can rightly say the rest is all conjecture when the film itself alludes to the exact DNA sequence being hidden from common knowledge and we seem to only have as much information given to us as the main characters: Owen, Claire, Zach and Gray but from the actions of Dr Wu and Hoskins as well as the arc of the main charcters there is an implication that there are DNA codes used we do not know about. 1- Where did they mention snake in the film? Or are you just making inferences, which is very different to confirmation.

2- I already said that the website was deliberatly lying. If the genome was classified to Owen, then they were damned if they were going to tell the public the genetic makeup of the Indominus! 1 - Snake DNA is mentioned by Claire when Masrani asks if the Indominus Rex can see them to which she replies, "She can sense thermal signatures like snakes," while it is not officially stated in the film it is a very strong implication by the charcter that snake DNA has been used. This is backed up by leaked material from before the film was released which claimed that T Rex, Velociraptor, Tree Frog, Cuttlefish and Snake DNA had been used in her creation which have all been somewhat confirmed by the film. The inference you can the draw is that considering Claire is amongst the higher ranking employees she will have more knowledge than others so Dr Wu has probably given her some information and provided some statistics from observations.

2 - Yes you said the website was definitely lying but do you have a source that can back that up. The I Rex has many similarities with the mentioned animals on the website which it would not ascertain through the DNA mentioned in the film even if those sequences mutated it would be like saying if you joined up T Rex and Velociraptor then you are going to make Allosaurus, that just won't happen you would need to include other traits to do that just as you would need other traits to create something like Indominus Rex.

I get your point about the website being essential similar to public knowledge in the JP universe they would not give the public details that were being kept classified from employees yet it is undeniable to take note of those striking similarities, furthermore at some point someone would ask what it is made up of and they have no reason to lie but as I said they may not state the complete picture since T Rex is part of the genetic makeup that they seem to completely be comfortable with allowing people to know but the only DNA used they seem intent on hiding is the Velociraptor. When Masrani questions Dr Wu he admits Tree Frog and Cuttlefish DNA were used but he never tells anyone that I Rex is "part raptor" which it takes a Velociraptor behavioural expert to notice. My point is there are parts to the animal they will allow the public to know and parts they will not want people to know and considering she never seems to display common raptor traits aside from her intelligence even Owen cannot tell she has that raptor DNA until he witnesses her confront Blue, Charlie, Delta and Echo.

The presence of those website released animals you cannot discard as being red herrings as they exhibit too strong comparrisons to the finished animal you cannot make something "bigger than T Rex " if you've only used T Rex as the big predator DNA it would be at largest the same size there must be other things present. You cannot have osteoderms in Tyrannosaurs though they can be found in other theropods such as Carnotaurus. The film itself seems to infer that there are more animal gene sequences used in the I Rex's genetic makeup which the audience is not made aware of we only have the information provided to the main characters. We also know that cannibalism would not come from the mentioned gene sequence though sure they may kill their own kind in some cases there is no evidence of cannibalism so why would she do it? The website is also a marketing ploy there will be references to the animal about certain things you will not receive in the films and since it is a real world website posing as an in world one they likely will contain extra information that while mayvbe not a full truth cannot be considered a definite lie until it has been expressly confirmed by the film makers.
