Vim - string replacement from current position to end of file

What is the vim command I have to use when I want to perform a text substitution not on the current line or on the whole document or on lines from number x to number y but just from the current cursor position down to the end (or up to the beginning) of the document?

Code:

:.,$s/pattern1/pattern2/g

to end of document.

Code:

:1,.s/pattern1/pattern2/g

from start of document. "." is considered to be the current line number.
Hope this helps :)
